Plot
[edit]Marc Zuber Antony, alias Tony (Mahesh Anand), an international smuggler, ended up on an isolated island after killing some navy officers. He decided to hide his merchandises there, and he threatened the people of the island. In the process, Tony killed the island's school teacher (Girish Karnad) in front of his wife, his son Siva and his daughter Priya.
Many years later, Siva (Sathyaraj) becomes a rich man in the city and lives with his sister Priya (Rambha) and his mother (Sujatha). Siva is haunted by his father's murder, and he tries to take revenge with the help of his friend Anbu (Nizhalgal Ravi). In the meantime, Priya falls in love with a happy-go-lucky man Sakthi (Prabhu). Later, Siva appoints Sakthi, and he becomes his best friend.
One day, Siva kills in front of his mother Tony's henchman, and he reveals to his mother that he is, in fact, a smuggler. Shocked after hearing this, his mother and his sister Priya leave his house, and they decide to move into Sakthi's house.
Actually, Sakthi is an undercover police officer who tries to arrest Siva. Tony was supposed to be dead, according to the police report, but Sakthi finds out that he is not dead. The rest of the story is about what happens to Siva, Sakthi, Priya and Tony.

Reception
[edit]R. P. Aa. of Kalki called it hundred percent Sathyaraj's show, called Rambha's presence as cool relief but felt Prabhu was terribly wasted and Balakumaran's dialogues lack his touch and concluded the review by requesting Suresh Krishna that why don't he remember his mentor K. Balachander before beginning every film.[3]
