In the process, the film neither ends up as a political testament nor about the restorative power of love. Undoubtedly, it is a brave film and full credit goes to the director for making every scene realistic and characters life-like. However after the end of it all, we wonder why he had to make it so morbid and disturbing! Veeran (Karthi) is a vagabond and ruffian in a village simmering with caste tensions. His best friend, guide and companion in crimes is his Chittappa Chevazhai (Saravanan) who had brought him up. Muthazhagu (Priya Mani) is Veeran?s cousin and childhood sweetheart who is still madly in love with him.
