Maamannan

Maamannan, a Dalit MLA, rises through the ranks of the Samathuva Samooganeedhi Makkal Kazhagam in Salem, Tamil Nadu. He builds influence within the party and positions himself as a key leader in the district.

Veera, Maamannan's son, grows up practicing Adimurai and carries his father's legacy. A casteist attack in Veera's childhood leaves him emotionally scarred and estranged from his father.

Rathnavelu, from a dominant community, fights to become the SSMK district secretary in Salem after his father's death. He uses every available means to secure the post and consolidate power within the district.

Three months before the elections, Rathnavelu's men destroy a free coaching centre run by Veera's friends and Leela to protect a private operation linked to his brother. The act marks the first major flashpoint between the factions.

In retaliation, Veera and his friends destroy Rathnavelu's coaching centre. The tit-for-tat violence underscores the volatile mix of caste and politics in the district.

Rathnavelu invites Maamannan and Veera to a meeting to sort out the issue without further violence. He hopes to calm tensions and protect his political standing.

During the meeting, Veera notices Maamannan standing while others are seated. He urges his father to have Maamannan sit, provoking Rathnavelu who slaps Veera and pushes Maamannan.

Veera punches back by kicking Rathnavelu, triggering further chaos. Rathnavelu orders his men to beat Maamannan and Veera, but Veera fights off the attackers.

Rathnavelu's counterattack stalls when his wife Jyothi locks him inside. He then unleashes dogs into Veera's pigpen, killing almost all the pigs and leaving a deep emotional wound for Veera and Maamannan.

Sindhanai Rajan, the party chief, orders Rathnavelu and Maamannan to meet him at the Party HQ in Chennai. He demands that Rathnavelu apologise to Maamannan or forgo his party membership to de-escalate the situation.

Rathnavelu quits the ruling party and joins the main opposition MSSMK with a faction of followers. The move shocks the political circle and redraws the power map ahead of the elections.

On the campaign trail, Rathnavelu rallies dominant castes against Maamannan and even murders a caste association head to generate sympathy for his own candidate. Despite his tactics, youth sentiment and anti-Rathnavel opinion begin to sway voters.

Election day delivers a decisive win for Maamannan, who secures a large margin against Rathnavelu's candidate. The SSMK is reelected, and Maamannan becomes Speaker of the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly.

Veera and Leela continue grassroots welfare work, while Maamannan consolidates his leadership as Speaker. The film ends on a note of social empowerment and political stability returning to the region.
