An entertaining crime-thriller elevating Prakash Raj to the ranks of hero.

As the movie opens, he doggedly pursues a gal impressing her enough for her to elope with him against her parents' wishes. But once there, he foists prostitution charges on her and turns her over to the police. He runs into Kushboo, a petty thief, gets her to stay with him and even weds her. But she soon learns that she's just a pawn in his game when he uses his marriage with her to cleverly stop the wedding of another woman. He tells her the reason for his wrecking the lives of the two women.

A good-hearted man, he had been all ready to write the bank examination, his last chance to get a job and suppport his family. But on the day of the exam, he had lost his hall ticket on the way to the hall. Meanwhile, the two girls, along with another gal, had killed a man and to escape charges, used his hall-ticket, lying on the road, to place the blame on him. He had been arrested and the dead man's brother, mistakenly thinking that Prakash Raj had murdered his brother, had killed his entire family and his lover.

Back in the present, he third woman is now married the dead man's brother(now a bigwig). So Prakash Raj travels to Ooty with plans to kill both of them while Kushboo and Manivannan try to stop him leading to a well-executed climax.

Prakash Raj makes a good hero but treads the thin line between acting and overacting. Kushboo starts off well with a jewellery store con but then has nothing much to do. Manivannan's comedy evokes a few laughs. The director has done a good job.
