Guna kidnaps Eeswaran, the paroled-brother of Sadasivam and houses him in a half built bathroom at an abandoned construction site for 6 days.

Sadasivam is arrested by DCP Aravindan, as he had given legal assurance for his brother's parole, and is removed from the state cabinet.

Due to an error by Guna, Eeswaran captures Malini using her bank account number, and kills one of her collegemates in an attempt to find his kidnapper, and later ties her disguised as a scarecrow atop the same building where he was confined.

The coincidences are smartly woven in, the location shooting is nicely done, and some of the action, especially a chase down a busy road, is staged quite well.

[17] The Times of India gave 3 stars out of 5 wrote, "If the screenplay was the strength of Saravanan's debut Enageyum Eppothum, here, it becomes a weakness as the director's attempts to make a "different" vigilante film get lost in implausibility, patronizing and sub-par acting.

He has the outline of a terrific action movie plot; However, the scenes aren't particularly interesting beyond a strictly functional level".
