Plot

Indrajith, an honest cop, is betrayed, accused of bribery and thrown behind the bars when he investigates a high-profile case related to an influential gangster. Upon release, he reunites with his wife (who becomes a wheelchair bound woman while she tries to kill an old friend, the daughter of the gangster, who pretending to be an innocent woman, betrayed Indrajith) and his son (who was brought up by an old friend). He then teams up with Fernandez, a handicapped police informant and a betrayed ex-cop, to seek revenge and thereby develops an army of youngsters to battle corruption.
