Plot

The story opens with a female voice narrating about herself and her love story with Ibrahim (Ashok). Ibrahim works for Mohammad Rowther (Velu Prabhakaran) a goon who deals with drugs. He marries Jaya (Priyanka Ruth) under her parents' disapproval, and she converts to Islam, changing her name as Razia. Everything seems to go well when one fine day, Ibrahim is shot dead in an encounter in front of Razia. This also leads Razia to suffer a miscarriage, and she avenges to kill everybody involved in Ibrahim's encounter.

Razia seeks the help of Abdullah (E. Ramdoss), who reveals the real motive of Ibrahim's encounter. He tells that Rowther's younger son Hussain (Vikas) eyes upon Razia and is warned by his family members as she is someone else's wife. A ruffle happens in the gang, and the police is pressured to encounter someone from the gang to put an end to the issue. Hussain suggests Ibrahim's name so that he can marry Razia. Razia is then sent to Mumbai to meet Boxie (Daniel Balaji), who at first looks at her meanly but later understands her willpower. He keeps her in his gang and trains her to kill Rowther and his gang.

Finally, a well-trained Razia lands up at Chennai and kills Kareem (Lawrence Ramu), the elder son of Rowther, as well as the police who were involved in Ibrahim's encounter. Rowther comes to know about the motto of his son's murder and orders Lala Settu (Vijay) and Edison (Saivam Ravi) to kill everybody who is responsible for his son's murder. Lala Settu tricks Boxie by offering him help to do his drug business in Chennai in the place of Rowther and then kills Boxie and his henchmen. Meanwhile, Razia goes hunting for Hussain and kills him. The police catches her, and they help her kill Rowther as they could not arrest him and stop his drug business as he had Minister Tamizhvaanan's (P. L. Thenappan) support. Later, Lala Settu and Edison are killed by the police, and Razia also lets the police shoot her.

In the end credits, the police are praised for their mission, and Deputy Commissioner Ramachandran (Aadukalam Naren) helps Razia's sisters get jobs in the police department in return for the favour that she did to the police department.
