Plot
The story is set in a suburb of Madurai. Suryan and Chandran (both played by Bharath) are twins. Suryan, the elder of the two, is a soft-spoken guy who works at a local lending library and falls in love with Manimegala (Bhavana), the daughter of Namasivayam (Mahadevan), the local politician-don and MLA. Chandran, the younger one, works as a mortuary assistant in the local government hospital, and he is one among Namasivayam's bad guys who are in charge of his election campaign. Chandran is romantically linked to a local girl named Tamizhselvi (Sandhya). Namasivayam comes to know about his daughter's love affair with Suryan and orders to some killers to kill Suryan. However, they accidentally attack Chandran, who succeeds in escaping from them. Later Chandran visits Manimegala and requests her to forget his brother. Nevertheless she plans to elope with Suryan. They go away and wait for the bus. Once the bus arrives, Suryan approaches it only to be struck by a knife in the head. Namasivayam's goons has got to know about the plan and have come to kill Suryan. They take Manimegala and leave. Chandran is later shocked to learn that the dead body which came into the mortuary for preparation for burial is none other than his own brother. Enraged by this he cycles to Namasivayam's house to kill him. But their gardener prevents him from doing anything rash. Chandran later goes to an out-of-town lodge where Namasivayam stays. His goons check Chandran thoroughly and lets him go up to meet Namasivayam. He cries in front of Namasivayam saying their political opponents have killed his brother mistaking for himself. Namasivayam pretends to call the police and a judge to sort things out. Chandran then leaves and the next day Namasivayam goes to the mortuary to pay respect to Suryan's body. Once he is in the "body" gets up and kills Namasivayam and two of his goons. It's Chandran who acted like the dead body of his brother, and Sandhya helps him by closing the doors of the mortuary and not letting the other goons in. All the women who were flocked to the scene hits the other ones and chases them away. Later it is seen both Chandran and Sandya arrested by the police, and in a police bus.
