Siga died after consuming adulterated food. Sunil had Parthi mix laxative powder into Siga's food, framing it as poison. When Parthi refused to actually poison Siga, Mani unknowingly fed the adulterated food to him. Later, Kattabomman supplied poisoned halwa through Mohan and shot Siga himself, adding a second toxin that killed him during transit to the hospital.

Foreshadowing: Earlier, Sunil publicly humiliated Siga during a frisking episode, showing his intent to eliminate the gangster.

The riot erupted because Siga's death exposed the extent of corruption and manipulation by the prison administration. Inmates learned that Sunil had orchestrated Siga's poisoning to control the prison, and the subsequent violence was their response to this betrayal and the ruthless power struggle between rival factions.

Foreshadowing: Kendrick's death after Sunil confiscated his Bible had already shown Sunil's brutal methods, foreshadowing the inmates' violent reaction.

Kendrick, a former juvenile drug dealer who had reformed and become a Christian preacher, was targeted by Sunil. When Sunil confiscated Kendrick's Bible and beat him, Kendrick was confined to a dark cell in fear. He eventually died from the trauma and isolation, sparking outrage among inmates and providing justification for exposing Sunil's cruelty.

Foreshadowing: Kendrick's conversion and spiritual teachings had inspired Siga and his gang to abandon their old ways, making his persecution even more significant.

Kattabomman was promoted to Superintendent because he positioned himself as someone who could control the prison after the chaos.

Parthi ends the film as a kingpin-like figure within the prison, having become what he initially fought against. His family's external success (a thriving restaurant) contrasts with his moral descent inside. The final glance between Parthi and Kattabomman suggests they share secrets, implying Parthi accepted responsibility for crimes he didn't fully commit to maintain his new position of power.

Foreshadowing: The earlier quote about "either kneel down in Heaven or be the King in Hell" foreshadows this moral compromise.

Sunil used Parthi's desire for freedom against him. He released Parthi unofficially and arranged a meeting with his mother. Sunil told Parthi that if Siga admitted he didn't hire Parthi to kill Shanmugam, Parthi would go free. Sunil then instructed Parthi to mix laxative powder in Siga's food, framing it as poison, hoping Parthi would kill Siga. When Parthi refused, Mani unknowingly completed the task.

Siga converted to Christianity after being influenced by Kendrick, a reformed drug dealer who had become a spiritual preacher teaching Jesus's teachings. With Seelan's advice, Siga and his inner circle abandoned their criminal ways and underwent baptism, marking a supposed transformation from his notorious gangster image.

Foreshadowing: This conversion later made Siga vulnerable to Sunil's attacks, as he had renounced violence.

While working in the prison kitchen, Parthi discovered that VIP prisoners were sexually exploiting Rangu, one of his allies.

The closing dialogue states there are only two paths in life: "either kneel down in Heaven or be the King in Hell." This reflects the film's theme that in a corrupt system, maintaining moral purity often leads to suffering, while embracing ruthless pragmatism brings power but at a spiritual cost. Parthi's ending embodies the "King in Hell" path.
