Madhan Kumar is shown to be an accounts manager who also studies music.

Intrigued by her behaviour, he approaches and befriends her. She soon realizes that he is by all accounts a good person, and starts to love him. However, every night Madhan stalks various women who are morally corrupt, seduces and kills them. Every time he embraces a woman with the intent of seducing her, his nose begins to bleed (a characteristic trait). <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assistant_Commissioner" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Assistant Commissioner">Assistant Commissioner</a> Deva (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atul_Kulkarni" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Atul Kulkarni">Atul Kulkarni</a>) is assigned to bring the serial killer to justice.</div>

The relationship progresses as far as a marriage proposal; however, a squabble starts as Madhanraj suspects an affair between Vaishnavi and her classmate Seenu. He arrives at Vaishnavi's house to ask her forgiveness. By chance, Madhanraj looks into her bedroom window and finds her sleeping with Seenu. She also overhears her saying that she never loved him, and merely accepted his proposal to divert his suspicion of her affair.</div>
<div style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em; text-align: justify;">
Heartbroken and revolted, Madhanraj confronts her, saying he knows the truth. When she denies it, he lashes out and accidentally kills her. Initially he grieves over his act, but realizes that she deserved it for cheating, and intentionally kills Seenu as well. He arrives at his brother Madhan Kumar's house and reveals his crime. He also reveals that he will further continue his killing spree and murder all unfaithful women. Madhan Kumar looks on helpless as Madhanraj dons the identity of "Manmadhan" (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cupid" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Cupid">cupid</a>) and flees into the night.</div>
<div style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em; text-align: justify;">
Madhan Kumar ends his flashback, and is released. Mythili apologizes for believing him to be a killer, and admits that she loves him deeply. However, the actual events that spurred the birth of Manmadhan are revealed (only to the audience):</div>
<div style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em; text-align: justify;">
After killing Vaishnavi and Seenu, Madhanraj was, in fact, remorseful and depressed over the events that led to this. He confesses to his brother and soon afterwards, locks himself in his room and prepares to commit <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Suicide">suicide</a>. Madhan Kumar watches horrified and helpless, as his younger brother hangs himself and loses his life. Madhan Kumar enters the room and embraces his brother's corpse, and suffers a <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nosebleed" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Nosebleed">nosebleed</a>. He swears to avenge his brother's death by killing unfaithful women everywhere; thus it was Madhan Kumar himself who became Manmadhan. It is hinted that his exploits will continue. This can be seen in a short scene from <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venkat_Prabhu" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Venkat Prabhu">Venkat Prabhu</a>'s 2010 comedy film <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goa_(film)" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Goa (film)">Goa</a>, where <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silambarasan_Rajendar" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Silambarasan Rajendar">Simbu</a> appears in the epilogue, talking to Suhasini (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sneha_(actress)" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Sneha (actress)">Sneha</a>), a corrupt businesswoman.

Amavasai (Sathyaraj), a nomad and locally known fool gets connected to a politician Mani (Manivanan). Amavasai helps Mani with some petty tasks during election campaign and meetings. Amavasai grows into a well acclaimed helper for Mani. Meanwhile Amavasai falls in love with Kasthuri. Mani instructs Amavasai to stand for MLA election on his party ticket. Amavasai wins and becomes the MLA. He forgets his relationship with Kasthuri and rejects her pregnancy and child. Also he rejects Mani's help and offers him a role under him. He changes his name to Nagaraja Cholan for gaining status. He offers to marry the daughter of local landlord (Sujatha) and even cheats him of his Palace. Over years Amavasai grows into a matured politician, criminal and corrupt. He builds a strong political empire through shortcuts. His ego and pride to remain in power made him kill many. Amavasai's son (Thangavel, again Sathyaraj) through Kasthuri comes out as a police constable who is deputed in Amavasai's constituency. Thangavel comes to know of his real father and about his betrayal of his Mother and also his corrupt practices. Thangavel seeks revenge. Meanwhile Amavasai as an MLA is accused of many illegal practices. The story further revolves around how Amavasai and Thangavel proceed in their battle and finally who wins the battle.</div>

In May 2001, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos!_Comics" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Chaos!

Rick and Evelyn are on their honeymoon in Egypt and end up embarking on yet another adventure where they must unravel the mysteries of the Orb of Destiny and discover the location of the Valley of the Gods hidden beneath the sands. However, the second and third issues were never published.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-9" style="line-height: 1em;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mummy_(franchise)#cite_note-9" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap;">[10]</a></sup> This was most likely due to Chaos later filing bankruptcy in 2002 and selling the rights to all their titles at that time. Years later in 2008, another Mummy comic series was released by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IDW_Publishing" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="IDW Publishing">IDW Publishing</a>, spanning four issues.

<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Siva (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dhanush" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Dhanush">Dhanush</a>) is a happy-go-lucky young boy in a large family. The head of this family are 3 older brothers. One of the brothers, is the father of Siva. Siva studies from a hostel away from home. He is always helpful and always comes in when others need him. In one of his obliging acts he helps his cousin Kalpana (<a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shriya" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Shriya">shriya</a>) to elope with her lover against the family's choice. This aggravates the family and they are asked to forget all about him.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
On another occasion, he is asked to help a friend in a love marriage. Siva kidnaps Pooja (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genelia_D%27Souza" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Genelia D'Souza">Genelia D'Souza</a>) on a mistaken identity from the marriage hall. When Pooja is kidnapped, her uncles (both are from the <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gounder" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Gounder">Gounder</a> community) and their henchmen follow them. Pooja while on the run tells Siva that she wasn’t interested in the wedding and her uncles are forcing her marriage with one of their sons only to seize her properties. When Siva went to kidnap her, she was thinking of how to run away from this marriage. While escaping from Pooja's uncles, Siva brings Pooja to his house under a false identity. Soon, Siva falls in love with Pooja and determines to marry her only with the consent of all the members of both families. When Siva's family along with Pooja visit a temple, her uncle kidnaps her and locks her away in his house. To save Pooja, Siva joins Emotional Ekambaram (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vivek_(actor)" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Vivek (actor)">Vivek</a>) — the auditor of Pooja's uncles — as an assistant. He makes Ekambaram believe that he is capable of creating new worlds with characters of their own. Ekambaram then "creates" two American billionaires and with the help of Siva, convinces the two uncles to marry their sons to the daughters of these billionaires. To prove that they are real and not merely the figment of Ekambaram's imagination, Siva asks his parents and his uncles and aunts to play the role. They manage to win the Gounders' hearts and bring about a change in their behaviour.</div>

Then, with the consent of all the family members Siva marries Pooja.</div>

<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em; text-align: justify;">
Arun (<a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramesh_Arvind" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Ramesh Arvind">Ramesh Arvind</a>) is married to Leelavathi (Kalpana) in a resigned marriage. He is embarrassed by his wife's plain looks and her weight.

<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em; text-align: justify;">
When he takes Priya with him on a vacation to Bangalore, he bumps into his old friend Dr. Sakthivel Gounder (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamal_Haasan" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Kamal Haasan">Kamal Haasan</a>)- an orthopedic surgeon from Coimbatore who is also in Bangalore with his wife Palani (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kovai_Sarala" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Kovai Sarala">Kovai Sarala</a>) and his son Anand - travelling with him in the same flight and even staying in the same hotel. Sakthivel is called to Arun's room in the night - as Arun has slipped his disc and the hotel doctor is unavailable - and bumps into Priya thus finding out about the affair.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em; text-align: justify;">
After returning to Chennai, Priya finds out that Arun is married but decides to continue with him when Arun says he was forced into marriage and promises to divorce his wife. When Arun's wife Leelavathi discovers Arun's affair, she has a huge showdown which leads to Arun leaving the house.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em; text-align: justify;">
Thus begins the titular action of 'Sathi' meaning to concoct plans for an enemy's downfall. Leelavathi's various methods of making her husband understand the true values of life, marriage and fidelity, with the hilarious aid of Dr Sakthivel Gounder forms the crux of the story.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em; text-align: justify;">
Interestingly, the word 'Sathi' is sometimes used in the hindu religion to describe a devoted wife.</div>

Ramachandramoorthy or Ram.C.M alias Ram (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamal_Haasan" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Kamal Haasan">Kamal Haasan</a>) is a pilot based in Canada and an irredeemable skirt-chaser. In course of a midair hijack situation, he meets Mythili (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simran_(actress)" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Simran (actress)">Simran</a>). Mythiil and Ram thwart the hijack and save the plane.</div>
<div style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em; text-align: justify;">
They fall in love and get married. After marriage Ram quits his playboy character and remain faithful to his wife. Ram's four closest buddies Ayyappan Nair (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jayaram" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Jayaram">Jayaram</a>), Vedantham (Vedham) Iyer (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yugi_Sethu" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Yugi Sethu">Yugi Sethu</a>), Ganesh Hegde (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramesh_Aravind" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Ramesh Aravind">Ramesh Aravind</a>) and Hanumanth Reddy (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sriman_(actor)" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Sriman (actor)">Sriman</a>) are present at the wedding — minus their wives. One day, when Ram helps Nirmala (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devayani" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Devayani">Devayani</a>) (Ganesh Hegde's ex-lover who tries to suicide since Ganesh Hegde marries his relative due to parents' complusion) from abstaining her from suicide, Mythili misinterprets and presumes that he is two-timing her, and flies off to India to her parents' home. And Ram goes chasing after. Further misunderstanding occurs when he goes to meet Mythilli, drunk and in the middle of the night goes to another house downstairs of Mythili's house.</div>
<div style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em; text-align: justify;">
To take his mind off Mythili for a while, his four friends drive him down to Bangalore and fix him up in a room, complete with call girl Maragadavalli alias Maggi (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramya_Krishnan" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Ramya Krishnan">Ramya Krishnan</a>). Ram won't have any of it. He gets into a fight with Maggi, then dashes over to his friends' room. To salvage the situation, Iyer hurries off to Ram's room and finds Maggi dead. Panicking, Nair, Iyer, Hegde and Reddy decide to get rid of the body in spite of Ram’s pleas to call the police. They manage to roll the dead body in a blanket and carry it over to their car. A mysterious ‘Sardar’ (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramesh_Khanna" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Ramesh Khanna">Ramesh Khanna</a>) watches over this. The friends dispose of the body in a dry river and drive over to Chennai to lead their normal lives.</div>
<div style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em; text-align: justify;">
Ram discovers a cache of diamonds inside the dead girl's cell phone and spoils the plans of the Sardar to steal them. Meanwhile, Mythili is goaded by her parents to give Ram one more chance and she arrives at Ram’s house. In the tussle with the Sardar, Ram removes the Sardars hat and mythili mistakes the Sardars long hair for a girl and leaves Ram once again. The Sardar manages to escape.</div>
<div style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em; text-align: justify;">
The friends get very nervous when they learn of a news article regarding the discovery of a dead body in the same area that they disposed off their dead body. A traditional festival (Ugadhi) has the wives of the four friends plan a party. While planning, Mythili overhears a conversation among them regarding their husband’s friends Ram’s fight with a Sardar and how his wife thought that it was a girl he was having an affair with. Mythili reveals her identity to the wives and gets invited to the party to be rejoined with Ram.</div>
<div style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em; text-align: justify;">
As everyone is present in the party, a twist comes when the supposedly 'dead Maggi' lands up, demanding her diamonds back. She then reveals the truth. The diamonds belongs to her diamond smuggling boss (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manivannan" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Manivannan">Manivannan</a>) and she had stolen it from him. She saw an opportunity to make everyone believe she is dead when Ram’s friend mistakes ketchup to be blood and thinks that she was dead. The dead body belonged is of her boss's girlfriend that she killed and managed to get into the blanket when the friends weren’t looking.</div>
<div style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em; text-align: justify;">
Ram with help from his friends, and the Sardar, who happens to be an undercover police officer trying to find the diamonds, saves everyone from Maggi and her boss. Mythilli, promises to change her over suspicious ways and both get back together. The movie ends with Ram asking if he could get the same attention his son is getting.</div>

This disease was the one which occurred during the time of Bodhidharma in China.

<div style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em; text-align: justify;">
Subha approaches Aravind to start the mission, but gets romantically involved with him and forgets her duty. One day, Aravind's family see Subha and clearly remember that she visited them a year before to find Aravind and know all about him for the Bodhidharma research. Saving herself, she lies by saying that she doesn't know them. Later that night, Aravind's uncle explains all what happened one year before when they met Subha. Aravind goes and meets Subha, and is enraged upon realising the truth. However the next day, he reconciles with Subha and agrees to contribute to the research and hence save the country. The research begins of giving life to Bodhidharma and to end Operation Red. But Dong Lee, who is capable of doing anything, does all impossibly bad things, mastered in "Nokku Varmam" (Hypnotism), a <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martial_art" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Martial art">martial art</a> which was actually taught to the Chinese by Bodhidharma.</div>

Subha goes to her genetics department and announces that Operation Red can be stopped if they read and make use of the cures in a book written by Bodhidharma. However, the department laughs and refuses to believe her, claiming that an ancient book is of no use in modern times. Disappointed, Subha leaves. After some time, Subha and Aravind find out that Subha's professor from the genetics department is assisting Dong Lee in Operation Red. They sneak into the professor's apartment and secretly get all the details of the operation, without his knowledge. The next day, the professor is caught red-handed by Aravind, Subha and her friends, but surrenders and explains that he received a huge sum of money from the China government if he carried out Operation Red. After the professor gives the gang more details about Operation Red and how to stop it, they leave. However, after a while, Dong Lee arrives and the professor once again teams up with him to save his own life.</div>

After Dong Lee causes numerous havoc in the city, Subha and her friends finally locate a research centre where they can activate Bodhidharma DNA in Aravind, and decide to hide there for a few days. They all deactivate their phones so that no-one can trace them. But Dong Lee somehow traces Subha and her friends with the help of two of Subha's outside friends. However, he kills both of them afterwards. Dong Lee then locates the place of the research centre. Subha and her friends in the research centre escape in a van, but Dong Lee chases them and the van collapses. An unconscious Aravind gets beaten badly by Dong Lee at first, but then manages to regain Bodhidharma skills somehow (in spite of the sunrays hitting him on his face which was not supposed to happen and a day before he was estimated to regain his skills). Aravind wakes up with Bodhidharma's talent and in a final fight, defeats Dong Lee. Thus, Aravind and Subha manage to eradicate the virus spreading. The film ends with them giving a lecture about the need to remember important histories and to teach all practices in the name of science and not god.</div>

<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Manohar, an upper-middle class Indian, moves into a new apartment - 13B on the 13th floor - with his family, fulfilling one of his life's biggest dreams. But the family is greeted by a series of small trivial incidents such as milk getting spoiled that could be regarded as inauspicious but are shrugged off by the excited Manohar. The lift in the apartment does not operate for Manohar.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The women in the family get hooked on to a new TV show <i>Yavarum Nalam</i> (<i>Everyone Is Well</i>, or <i>Sab Khairiyat</i> in the Hindi version). The show is about a family eerily similar to theirs who have also just moved into a new house just like they have. As the serial unfolds, Manohar notices that the incidents that happen in the serial are a reflection of what has happened to Manohar and his family. The serial mirrors Manohar's family life. For example, his sister graduating first-class, his wife getting pregnant and later suffering a<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miscarriage" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Miscarriage">miscarriage</a>. The rest of the family remains oblivious to the similarities and Manohar prefers it that way to avoid panic. He also notices that his camera will take twisted pictures of him while he is in the apartment, but not while he is out of the apartment.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As Manohar fights the uneasy feeling in his mind, things start taking a turn for the worse in the serial. He is now terrified that the same might happen to his family as well. Manohar now wants to know who is behind the making of this serial and what their intentions are. As Manohar explores the mysterious happenings, he unravels a deep and unholy secret.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The house they live in was the house where a whole family of eight were murdered way back in 1977. It was the family of a TV news reader named Chitra. On the day of Chitra's engagement an ardent fan (Shriram Shinde in the <i>13B</i> version) of Chitra wanted to stop the engagement and he failed in doing so. Disheartened, he committed suicide. Subsequently, all members of that family were murdered with a hammer in a single day. The blame rested on the crazy brother in the family, as he had been seen with the hammer last. The police officer investigating the case also committed suicide by hanging himself in the same house.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now Manohar and his friend, Shiva (<a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murli_Sharma" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Murli Sharma">Murli Sharma</a>), who is a policeman, are in the process of unraveling the mystery. Manohar researches the madman Senthil/Ashok, who apparently goes crazy after seeing the TV show in an asylum. Manohar then meets Senthil, who extends a hand for Manohar but drags him inside, but his friend Shiva keeps him from being dragged. They then met Chitra's former fiance Ramchandar, who tries to plead for Senthil's innocence because he got covered in blood while he hugged the bodies, failed in the case.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After researching one night, Manohar has a nightmare of the 13B murderer climbing the stairs to kill his family. When Manohar tries to climb the stairs, he always ends up on the 2nd floor and after a few moments he wakes up. He then goes to the hall and witnesses the climax of <i>Yavarum Nalam</i>/<i>Sab Kheriyat</i> when they are showing the murderer's identity; he sees two hammers, one pointed hammer and a blunt sledge-hammer, then showing Manohar's face as the killer.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What follows is the climax that ties up all the loose ends. The 13B murderer is Dr Balu/Dr Shinde, who sees the family members' faces as serial family members. Manohar kills him.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The story ends with Manohar living a normal life with a new dog in the family; the milk is not getting spoiled anymore. They bring Senthil/Ashok home and the lift in the apartment finally works for Manohar. Manohar receives a call from Dr Balu/Dr Shinde while in the lift, who says that while the 13B family haunts the TV, he haunts Manohar's phone.</div>

</span></h2>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The film opens with two people – a man (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aravind_Akash" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Aravind Akash">Aravind Akash</a>) and a woman – interviewing civilians' thoughts on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Love">love</a> and the opposite sex. After a mixture of answers, they cease their questions and the credits roll. The credits end as a boy, after being rejected by his girlfriend, commits suicide by jumping onto a passing car. Karthik (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinay_Rai" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Vinay Rai">Vinay Rai</a>) walks off disturbed to his girlfriend Jhansi's (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sadha" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Sadha">Sadha</a>) office. There, he is criticized by her for his antics with other women and his lack of passion for their love. She walks off, ending their relationship.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Karthik is then shown as a civil engineer in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chennai" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Chennai">Chennai</a>, still playful and fun-loving. Accepting a request from his manager to go on a business trip to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melbourne" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Melbourne">Melbourne</a>, he bids farewell to his friends (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raju_Sundaram" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Raju Sundaram">Raju Sundaram</a> and Satish). On the plane, he encounters a playful, flirtatious girl, Deepika (<a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanisha_Mukherjee" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Tanisha Mukherjee">Tanisha Mukherjee</a>), whom he sits next to during the flight. After spending hours together, they become good friends and exchange details. However, by coincidence, Deepika is travelling to Melbourne to work in the same company as Jhansi, who is settled there. Together they seem to conveniently bump into Karthik at every corner, prompting an unwelcome reunion for Jhansi and Karthik.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While Deepika takes a liking to Karthik, Jhansi still ignores him, even though Karthik has ambitions of getting back together. At a restaurant, Karthik bumps into a fellow <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamilian" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Tamilian">Tamilian</a>(<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Srinath_(actor)" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Srinath (actor)">Srinath</a>) and explains his love for Jhansi. The story then moves two years back for a flashback of events. Karthik had met Jhansi at a festival at a temple, where she played a prank on Karthik and his friends. Taking a liking to her, Karthik begins to follow Jhansi intentionally, hoping for her to fall in love with him. Soon after this happens, she becomes more and more suspicious of Karthik. This comes to a head when Karthik acts as the boyfriend of his friend's (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raju_Sundaram" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Raju Sundaram">Raju Sundaram</a>) girlfriend, Pooja, (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paloma_Rao" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Paloma Rao">Paloma Rao</a>), only for Jhansi to get confused and mistake him. His reputation as a trusting boyfriend takes another turn for the worse, when at a wedding, the bride (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lekha_Washington" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Lekha Washington">Lekha Washington</a>) gives him a kiss after he improvises a song.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As the pair have a love-hate relationship, the break-up beckons when Jhansi sends her friend (<a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasundra" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Vasundra">Vasundra</a>) undercover to go flirt with Karthik, however, he lies claiming he was at home ill, prompting Jhansi to end their relationship. At the end of the flashback, Srinath suggests to Karthik, that its more important to move on than think regretfully and Karthik gets over his relationship with Jhansi. However, finding out about Deepika's love towards Karthik, Jhansi becomes jealous and reinstates her love for Karthik. Soon, as she sees Deepika and Karthik's compatibility and understanding her faulty, she finally understands what went wrong in their relationship. Then, Karthik tells her through a meaningful conversation that he still loves her, not Deepika. After this, Jhansi run away to Sydney anonymously.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At the end of the film, the male interviewer who appeared at the start questions Jhansi on her decision to leave anonymously, however she refuses to answer, at first. Later, she replies that though she still loves Karthik, she was unable to understand Karthik well. She knew it would not work out and she did not want to hurt Karthik further, thus becoming the sole reason for her departure. She then confirms that she met up with Deepika recently, and had found that she is married to Karthik and has a child. She then walks away, claiming her future lies in her own hands and she is happy the way she is now.</div>

He is brought to the leader of the gang Musafir Ibrahim (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abhimanyu_Singh" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Abhimanyu Singh">Abhimanyu Singh</a>) and is identified as Ulaganathan, the Home Minister of Tamil Nadu. Further plans are revealed when the gang strikes a hefty deal with him for planting a series of bombs in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chennai" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Chennai">Chennai</a>. Then happens a bomb explosion at a transportation bus in the city killing many innocent peoples. A group of three journalists, including Bharathi (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genelia_D%27Souza" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Genelia D'Souza">Genelia D'Souza</a>), commit to eradicating terrorism in the country after completing their Journalism course. One night, Bharathi and her two friends secretly film the illegal activities like creation of explosives and women trafficking happening in a secluded house. However, the journalists' presence is detected and their escape attempt results in the deaths of both her friends and injury to Bharathi. But after the attack on Bharathi and her friends, the goon's vehicle explode due to a small mishap when a matchstick falls over petrol packets stored in the vehicle. Bharathi, already stabbed by one of the goons, comes up with a new idea to eradicate terrorism by creating a fictional character called Velayudham, and writes a note that he wants to clean up the city of bad guys and that he will stop the next bomb from hurting anyone before falling unconscious.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em; text-align: justify;">
Velayudham a.k.a. Velu (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vijay_(actor)" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Vijay (actor)">Vijay</a>) is a milk vendor in a village called Pavunoor. He has a sister named Kaveri (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saranya_Mohan" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Saranya Mohan">Saranya Mohan</a>) whom he loves dearly and a cousin Vaidehi (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hansika_Motwani" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Hansika Motwani">Hansika Motwani</a>) who is crazy about him. Though the brother and sister duo create lot of trouble for the villagers, they are still adored by them. They, along with a couple of village friends, arrive in Chennai to collect money from a chit fund for his sister's marriage, and somehow a petty thief Speedu (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santhanam_(actor)" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Santhanam (actor)">Santhanam</a>) gets part of their money. On chasing Speedu in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chennai_Egmore" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Chennai Egmore">Egmore railway station</a>, Velu uses a bike to catch him, and it explodes a few seconds later (a bomb had been planted on the bike). Within the next couple of days he inadvertently prevents more bomb blasts and helps catch terrorists, thus Velayudham becomes a sensation over time. He even manages to save Bharathi in one of the incidents which he never meant for it to happen.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em; text-align: justify;">
Velu is unaware of the consequences, later Bharathi realises Velu is the guy who has been accidentally doing the work of Velayudham. Bharathi meets him, explains and asks him to become the fictional character, however he refuses. Later Velu goes to draw cash from the chit fund but the company cheats him off his money and the people who are cheated vow that Velayudham will come as their saviour. Velu seeing this decides to take upon the avatar of Velayudham and starts to do eradicate the evils that pertains within the society such as corruption, prostitution, terrorism etc. In time, Bharathi falls in love with Velu, which he does not return as he is in love with Vaidehi.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em; text-align: justify;">
Trouble however lurks in the form of Musafir. He plans a terrorist attack on a chemical factory. However, Velu thwarts these plans and gains the support of Assistant Commissioner Feroz Khan (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sayaji_Shinde" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Sayaji Shinde">Sayaji Shinde</a>), who was initially sceptical of Velayudham.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em; text-align: justify;">
Soon, Velu, Speedu and Bharathi come to Pavunoor for Kaveri's marriage. Unknown to them, one of the terrorists involved in the failed terrorist attack on the chemical factory had followed them to the village to take revenge on Velu. Feroz Khan tries to warn Velu about this, but is murdered by the police commissioner, who is Ulaganathan's right hand man. The terrorist plants a bomb in Velu's house and only Kaveri detects it, but the bomb explodes before she can get rid of it, killing her. In revenge, Velu returns to Chennai and kills Musafir, who is to be revealed as Velayudham by Ulaganathan, in a gruelling encounter at the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jawaharlal_Nehru_Stadium,_Chennai" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, Chennai">Nehru Stadium</a>, exposes Ulaganathan's misdeeds and finally reveals himself as Velayudham to the world.</div>

Thirumurthy and Gurumurthy are two brothers in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thoothukudi" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Thoothukudi">Thoothukudi</a>, with Thirumurthy being the elder. He is however sensitive to violence and his younger brother is brave and rogue. Whenever Thirumurthy is beaten by anyone, he has Gurumurthy to finish them. However, Gurumurthy gets frequently punished by his policeman father (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nagendra_Babu" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Nagendra Babu">Nagendra Babu</a>) for beating up the local people, while Thirumurthy only feels for him. After the death of their father, the now grown-up Thirumurthy (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R._Madhavan" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="R.

Meanwhile, Thirumurthy falls for Vasanthi (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sameera_Reddy" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Sameera Reddy">Sameera Reddy</a>) and Gurumurthy falls for her younger sister Jayanthi (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amala_Paul" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Amala Paul">Amala Paul</a>). Subsequently, Thirumurthy marries Vasanthi and both the brothers shift to Vasanthi and Jayanthi's house. A number of humorous incidents follow, such as Jayanthi's to-be husband is actually revealed to be a clumsy NRI, who she disapproves of. She openly expresses her love for Gurumurthy, and hence he subsequently marries her. The NRI, heartbroken takes leave.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Thirumurthy rises to fame in his job by having his younger brother secretly punish suspects and save victims for him. This angers one of the village's biggest mob bosses Annachi (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashutosh_Rana" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Ashutosh Rana">Ashutosh Rana</a>) who begins to seek revenge on Thirumurthy. He has his men to severely beat up Thirumurthy, making the latter confident that his brother will continue his job. Gurumurthy, now enraged, claims that he made his elder brother a policeman not for fake, but to overcome the fears he had and to become stronger. Thus, he begins training up his elder brother, who subsequently loses his fear and manages to defeat a few of Annachi's men. Eventually, Annachi and his men break into the brother's house and cause havoc. Thirumurthy and Gurumurthy arrive and defeat all of Annachi's men, however they seem to be no match for Annachi. Finally after Annachi falls for a trap set by the brothers, he is defeated but the two brothers quarrel whether to kill him or arrest him. Thus, Gurumurthy declares that they will role a gun and when the gun stops rolling at the brothers, they will arrest Annachi. Bu if it stops at Annachi, he will be killed. The gun stops rolling at Annachi and Thirumurthy shoots him dead. As the credits roll, scenes show that Thirumurthy is again congratulated by the local police, but gives equal credit to his brother as well. Through this praise, Gurumurthy also gets to join the police force.</div>

<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Jeeva (Karthi) is a typical Chennai youngster. His father Pragasam (Jayaprakash), a call taxi driver, showers love and affection on him. They lead a simple life and derive happiness in whatever they do. One day, Jeeva comes across Priya (Kajal Aggarwal) at the wedding of their mutual friends. The two fall for each other. He doesn't tell her about his feelings and knows that she likes him. He plays hard to get until their mutual friend tells Priya about Jeeva's infatuation. Jeeva tries to make her become more independent. One day he goes up to Priya's father against her pleas and tells him of their love. Jeeva eventually secures a good job as that is one of the requirements for him to marry Priya. Eventually Priya becomes acquainted with Jeeva's family and is accepted as the future bride.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
When all seems to go well, a murder attempt on Jeeva’s father disturbs everything. Jeeva’s father had witnessed a girl being taken by a group of <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sociopath" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Sociopath">sociopathic</a> teenagers in his taxi. The girl gets rapped and killed. To get rid of the body of the girl and her boyfriend they hack both the bodies into small pieces and dumps them in random dump-yards in the city. When police accidentally recovers the head of the girl from a dumpyard, it is reported on TV. Jeeva's father suspects that the head recovered might belong to a girl who was taken by guys who board his taxi. So he decides to knock on the doors of justice and confirms to the police that the girl in his taxi and the murdered girl are the same. Sensing trouble, the gang plans to murder him as he has seen the faces of couple of guys in the gang while they took the girl. So they go to Pey(Ghost) Babu, the uncle of one of the teenagers, a local criminal who is adept at coming up with plans for murdering people . They conduct reconnaissance of Jeeva's father and their home . They also come to know about the upcoming marriage of Jeeva's sister when Pey Babu under the guise of delivering a Pamphlet takes a good look at Jeeva's family. Pey Babu assumes that Jeeva's family has to venture outside their home as they have make arrangements for the impending marriage. The gang follows the Jeeva's family to a wedding card shop where the gang hears the owner of the shop asking Jeeva and his father to come back in a couple of days to collect the printed cards. Now that Pey Babu knows the exact location and time of where Jeeva's father is going to be, he comes up with a detailed plan for murder. When Jeeva and his father return to the shop after two days, the gang starts a commotion in the crowded street and in the ensuing confusion, one of the gang stabs Jeeva's father with a Poisoned Glass SHRAPNEL.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
During the murder Jeeva notices and identifies one of the Gang members as he looked like the same person that his father described during the previous investigation of the Girl's Murder. The death of his father shatters Jeeva. The investigation of his father's murder brings the police to Jeeva's home where they ask him whether he had seen any suspicious person in his neighborhood in the days before his father's murder. Jeeva denys seeing any suspicious person although he later reveals to his friend that he indeed has seen a strange guy delivering pamphlets to his home and the guy during his father's murder. When his friend inquires why he did not say anything to the Police, Jeeva replies the guys does not deserve an police investigation and court trial. The heinous crime they committed, hacking a girl into pieces, deserves much harsher punishment. And he says that he is going to personally punish the gang not because they killed his father but because of the heinous and psychopathic nature of their crimes. He sets out on a mission to identify the culprits and goes running around the town baying for their blood.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Jeeva seeks the help of his friend Kaasimedu Kutti Nadesan, a chennai gangster, who Jeeva got acquainted with in the past. Nadesan with his influence asks his gang to bring all the Guys who plans for murder in Chennai, so that Jeeva can identify him. It turns out there are only four people who can plan for murder in Chennai including Pey Babu. Nadesan interrogates the first person in front of Jeeva. The next is Pey Babu, but Jeeva gets distracted, but turns back just in time to look at Pey Babu and identifies him as the person who delivered Pamphlets to his home days before his dad's murder. Now a chase ensues and Jeeva successfully captures and subdues Pey. Now Jeeva coerces Pey into taking him to where the Teenage gang is. Both Pey and Jeeva goes to the road in front of the college where the five teenagers study. But before he can get hold of them, the gangs gets alerted and start a commotion by throwing cool drink bottles in the crowd. In the ensuing melee, Pey gets stabbed by one of the gang and Jeeva gets a clear look at the guy who stabbed Pey. So Jeeva chases him and beats him senseless . But the teenager gets killed by a train when he tries to escape the clutches of Jeeva. Jeeva subsequently goes to the dead teenager's funeral hoping that his friends will come there. The gang arrives but sees Jeeva before he sees them .</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
They leave the funeral and to get drunk goes to one of the beaches which coincidentally is the same place Nadesan returns back after going to the sea. The gang argues among themselves how their friend got killed by Jeeva and how they should avenge him. At the same time Jeeva calls Nadesan on his cell phone to use his influence to investigate about the friends of the Dead teenager. The gang while arguing starts shouting which distracts Nadesan and looking at them Nadesan asks Jeeva about the how the gang looks like. Sensing that Jeeva's description matches the gang on the beach, Nadesan goes to inquire them while giving the phone to another one of his group to give Jeeva, the directions to the beach. During the inquiry Nadesan confirms the Killers and the gang on the beach are the same but before he can do anything the gang clubs one of Nadesan's group and runs into a nearby area with dilapidated houses. Nadesan and two of his group grabs weapons and goes after them but they are killed easily as they are outnumbered by the four teenagers who hide and attack and finish them off one by one.

The film focuses on two love stories in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chennai" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Chennai">Chennai</a>; one takes place in the period of a day, while the other ensues for months.</div>

Amudha enlists the aid of a stranger Gautham (<a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sharvanand" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Sharvanand">Sharvanand</a>), who agrees to take her as far as the bus stop. However, he ends up reluctantly travelling with her the entire day, waiting for her during her interview, and finally dropping her at her sister's home in the evening. In the course of the day, she comes to understand him as a person and becomes fond of him, and, while remaining calm and reserved, Gautham too reciprocates her feelings. The following day Amudha returns to Trichy, where she realizes she has fallen in love with him and rejects marriage proposals that come her way. She eventually decides to return to Chennai to meet him. Meanwhile, Gautham realizes that he has fallen in love with Amudha and decides to go to Trichy to find her despite not knowing her address and other any details except her name.</div>

A parallel story follows. Kathiresan (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jai_(actor)" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Jai (actor)">Jai</a>), a metal shop worker, harbors feelings towards his neighbor Manimegalai (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anjali_(actress)" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Anjali (actress)">Anjali</a>), a nurse. Being shy and soft-spoken, he doesn't talk to her, but continues to watch her every morning for six months. Manimegalai, however, is bold and forthcoming; she agrees to his love and orders him around mercilessly. She puts him through several tests- having him meet her father (a policeman), her former one-side lover on his own, makes him undergo an <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HIV_test" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="HIV test">HIV test</a>, and gets him to agree to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organ_donation" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Organ donation">organ donation</a>. She wants him to decide on the basis of all that she's put him through as to whether he wants to marry her and spend the rest of his life with her; Kathiresan responds affirmatively. The two grow to love each other unconditionally with the consent of their families.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Kathiresan decides to take Manimegalai to visit his family in Arasur, a village near Villupuram, and the two board a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bus" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Bus">bus</a> to take them there. Meanwhile, Gautham boards a bus to return from Trichy - the same one that Kathiresan and Manimegalai are travelling in. Simultaneously, Amudha boards a bus to return from Chennai. Few glimpses of other passengers are also seen: a mother and her child, a girls' <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Athletics_(sport)" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Athletics (sport)">athletic</a> team, a newly married couple, two college students who are attracted to each other, and a man returning from<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dubai" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Dubai">Dubai</a> to see his five year-old daughter for the first time.</div>

Many others die en route to the hospital or at the hospital. Gautham sees Amudha, severely injured, on the other bus and she is rushed to a hospital. Manimegalai stays at the scene to help the wounded. By the time she reaches the hospital along with Gautham, Kathiresan has already succumbed to head trauma. At the hospital, Gautham confesses his love to Amudha at her bedside, and she manages to regain consciousness. Kathiresan's body is taken away by a hysteric Manimegalai and his grieving parents. The site of the crash is declared an accident prone-area, and the film ends with a message on <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_safety" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Road safety">road safety</a>.</div>

<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em; text-align: justify;">
Saktivelu (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamal_Haasan" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Kamal Haasan">Kamal Haasan</a>) returns home to his father, Periya Thevar’s (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sivaji_Ganesan" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Sivaji Ganesan">Sivaji Ganesan</a>) village in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamil_Nadu" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Tamil Nadu">Tamil Nadu</a>, after completing his education in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="London">London</a>. Much to his father’s annoyance, he brings his westernized girlfriend (<a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gautami" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Gautami">Gautami</a>) with him to meet his family. Saktivelu plans on opening a chain of restaurants in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chennai" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Chennai">Chennai</a> which saddens Periya Thevar as he wanted his son to help the villagers with his education.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em; text-align: justify;">
Periya Thevar is a well respected village chief. His younger brother and his nephew Maya Thevar (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nassar" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Nassar">Nassar</a>) holds a huge grudge against him over a family feud. Since most of the village is divided into these two brothers faction and as Maya Thevar always tries to one up Periya Thevar, it puts them at loggerheads with each other.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em; text-align: justify;">
Saktivelu spends time in the village with his girlfriend by re-visiting his childhood memories. They come across an old temple which has been closed off on Maya Thevar’s instructions. He insists on entering and his friend and servant Esaki (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vadivelu" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Vadivelu">Vadivelu</a>) breaks open the lock for them to look around. Maya Thevar hears of this and a brutal riot is started among the two village factions. Periya thevar, in order to quell the situation, contemplates on apologising to his opponents. Sakthivelu feels it should be him or Esaki who should apologise. When Saktivelu asks for esaki, he learns that Maya Thevar has amputated Easki’s hand for opening the temple. In order to prevent further escalation of the situation Saktivelu, with permission from his father, enlists the help of his friends in the government and opens the temple for all legally. Slighted by this, Maya Thevar, hires goons to break a dam protecting a part of the village faction that supports Periya Thevar. Although one of the villagers spots one of the goons near the dam, he doesn’t think much of it.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em; text-align: justify;">
The dam is damaged by explosives used by the goons which results in flooding of half the village. This results in lots of death including infants which deeply saddens Saktivelu. He spots the goon who placed the explosives again in the village and gives chase. After capturing, he hands the goon over to the police but the goon doesn’t give up Maya Thevar's involvement due to fear for his family’s life.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em; text-align: justify;">
Later in order to go one up on shakthi, Maya Thevar closes a portion of his land to prevent the public from reaching the mainroad easily. Sakthivelu and his father invite them for talks at village Panchayat. In the village <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panchayat" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Panchayat">panchayat</a> accusations fly from both sides. With no evidence backing up the truth, Maya Thevar accuses Periya Thevar for orchestrating various attacks on his brother's family. Disrespected and broken, Periya Thevar returns to his home and passes away soon. Saktivelu takes over his father’s duties as the head of the village.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em; text-align: justify;">
As time passes, this incident dies down. The villagers express concern to Saktivelu about going around a piece of land belonging to Maya Thevar’s side of the village everyday to work in their farm which causes a much longer travelling time. Saktivelu reasons with the owner of the land to open it up for all villagers to pass so that their long commute is shortened. Although understanding and willing, the land owner is afraid of Maya Thevar’s backlash especially since he has a daughter (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revathi" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Revathi">Revathi</a>). Saktivelu assures his fear by arranging marriage between a well-to-do person from his village to the land owners daughter. Everybody involved happily agrees and the land owner opens up the land for everyone.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em; text-align: justify;">
On the day of the wedding, the groom runs away fearing Maya-Thevar. The landowner and his daughter are distraught over this claiming that it is a huge disrespect for his family and even if someone marries his daughter, they have to live in constant fear. Saktivelu then gets permission from landowner and weds his daughter. At first, although Saktivelu still has feelings for his girlfriend and his new bride is very shy, they overcome their awkwardness and move on. But soon, his girlfriend comes back and learns the truth. Although sadden, she understands the situation and leaves. Saktivelu, too, closes the chapter about his girlfriend and starts his new life with his wife.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em; text-align: justify;">
Maya-Thevar, again slighted by the opening of the land, plants bomb in the village festival. This results in a lot of death on both sides of the village. Both factions of the village, wanting revenge, go after Maya-Thevar and his family. Saktivelu protects the innocent family including his uncle and helps them get away from the villagers. Appreciative of Saktivelu’s efforts to protect them, they give away Maya-Thevar's hiding location.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em; text-align: justify;">
Saktivelu goes to meet Maya-Thevar and asks him to surrender to the police before the villagers kill him. Maya-Thevar’s rabid hate for Saktivelu makes his reject his offer for help. Maya-Thevar blaming Saktivelu for all his problems tries to kill Saktivelu. In the struggle that follows, Saktivelu accidentally kills Maya-Thevar. Although other villagers are willing to take the blame for the kill, Saktivelu gives himself up to the police.</div>
