Plot

The movie begins in a hospital, with a patient being rushed to the operation theater. His name is revealed to be Siva, and his face is not shown at that moment. Siva's face sustained severe injuries in a fire accident, the doctors think that a face transplant is the only way out to rectify his facial deformities. At the same moment, another patient, Shakthi (Atharvaa), is admitted in the same hospital. He is declared brain dead, and the doctors request his mother, Gowri Thiruselvan (Suhasini Maniratnam), to donate his organs. Upon hearing the pleas of Siva's parents, she relents, and Shakthi's face is transplanted on to Siva. Siva, who gets a new lease of life, plans to start a business to take care of his family unaware of the issues he would be facing in the coming days. Siva gets attacked twice by some strangers, and he realizes that someone is after his life. Following a third attack, Siva and his friend Gopal (Sathish) think that the troublemakers could be targeting his face and not him in particular, as not many were aware of his face transplantation surgery. Siva learns from Gowri that his face donor (Shakti) was not really her son, and another friend reveals that he hailed from a village near Trichy. Siva travels to Trichy with Gopal and his girlfriend Gigi (Megha Akash) to enquire about Shakthi. Parallelly, it is revealed that Gigi had rejected Siva earlier (owing to not liking his looks prior to surgery), and during the train journey, Siva reveals his true identity. Gigi feels guilty and asks for his forgiveness, after which the two reconcile.
