Veerapandi Puram and Soolachery are two villages, which are on either side of a river and are always feuding as the headmen Veerasamy and Sethupathy have personal enmity. Due to some misunderstanding regarding Sethupathy's children's death, Sethupathy seeks revenge against Veerasamy and tries to kill Veerasamy's son Suryaprakash, but Suryaprakash is saved by his servant's son Giri, where Suryaprakash suddenly disappears. 20 years later, Shiva arrives in Kumbakonam with a mission to protect DSP Chandrashekhar's wife and his son from Sethupathy and his gangsters, where he lives with a bakery owner named Veerabagu. During a wedding reception, Shiva saves Chandrashekhar's family from being murdered by Sethupathy's son. When questioned about his identity, it is revealed that Shiva is actually Giri and Chandrashekhar was actually Suryaprakash whom Sethupathy had killed after learning about his real identity. To protect the rest of the family, Giri was sent to bring them back to the village. In the present, Giri wipes out Sethupathy and his family during a boat race, thus avenging Suryaprakash's death.
