Sampath Raj, who shot to fame in Saroja, has peaked with this film in terms of performance. The artificial animated smile that he gives, when he faces difficult situations, is simply superb. He has worked heavily on his body language, gestures and mannerisms and has come out with a brilliant characterization. Though he seemed to have a starting problem, he settles quickly into the role. Bollywood star Jackie Shroff as the Don, in a rather surprising piece of casting and in probably his first Tamil film, fits the role well and he literally steals the show, with some amazing understanding of his role. In terms of performances, it’s a treat to watch the performances of all the actors. The casting for the film is innovative and excellent. Kaalayan and his son realize they too stand to gain and innocently end up in the middle of the mafia gang fight… Gajendran and Singaperumal think, Pasupathy has escaped with the loot and are searching for him with the aim to kill him. Meanwhile, the handler of the cocaine consignment dies in a lodge and the cocaine bag falls into the hands of Kaalayan (Guru Somasundaram) and his young son Kodukkapully (Master Vasanth), who earn their living by entering cock fights. Pasupathy escapes but Chittu and the other 2 gang members kidnap Pasupathy’s wife. Pasupati finds out that Singaperumal has instructed Chittu to kill him after the deal. This infuriates Singaperumal, who decides to handle the drug deal and sends Pasupathy with Chittu (Ajay Raj) and 2 others.

However, Pasupathy plods him on and even suggests taking over this risky deal. Singaperumal, thinking it to be too risky, decides not to take it up. A new underworld deal is offered to Singaperumal over the phone – picking up cocaine from a handler and to be delivered to another drug mafia don Gajendran (Rambo Rajkumar). Singaperumal’s gang also includes Pasupathy (Sampath Raj), his right hand man.

Sappai (Ravi Krishna), one of Singaperumal’s gang members known for his ‘soft’ tendencies, is entrusted the responsibility of taking care of the young girl. He has a frustrating, violent, and impotent sexual relation with a young woman, Subbu (Yasmin Ponnappa), who lives with him. In the film, Singaperumal (Jackie Shroff), is an ageing Don, controlling the underworld business.
