In the bustling streets of Chennai, a city where bureaucracy and everyday life intertwine, a retired freedom fighter returns to the forefront of a battle he never truly left. Veerasekaran Senapathy, once celebrated for his uncompromising integrity, finds himself driven by a searing anger at the pervasive corruption that stains every level of public service. The film paints a gritty, almost claustrophobic portrait of a society caught between the remnants of heroic idealism and the modern-day machinations of power, setting a tone that is both relentless and deeply human.

Amid this charged atmosphere, the authorities assemble a joint task force, led by seasoned official Krishnaswamy, to probe the unsettling pattern of unrest rippling through the city. Parallel to the investigation, a cast of everyday players navigates their own tangled relationships with the system. Chandrabose “Chandru”, a modest broker operating on the fringes of the Regional Transport Office, dreams of upward mobility while wrestling with the shadows of bribery. Across the moral spectrum, Aishwarya, an animal‑rights activist, confronts the very structures that sustain her cause, and Sapna, the daughter of a senior transportation official, is drawn into a web of ambition and expectation. At Senapathy’s side, his wife Amirthavalli, trained in the ancient art of Varma kala, embodies both strength and quiet resolve, offering a counterpoint to her husband’s fierce crusade.

The narrative breathes with an atmosphere of simmering tension, where personal convictions clash with institutional decay. As each character pursues their own sense of justice—or survival—the film invites the audience to ponder whether steadfast righteousness can survive in a world that rewards compromise. The mood is unflinching, the style lean yet evocative, and the stakes feel ever‑present, leaving viewers poised on the edge of a moral storm that promises to test the limits of idealism without revealing its ultimate resolution.
