The film released on 14 January 2016 to positive reviews, with praise for Vishal's performance, the action sequences, the direction and the musical score.

While Amudhan is in Chennai doing wedding shopping with Meenu Kutty, he gets the news that Thamba had been killed the previous day.

Thamba's henchmen set Amudhan's house on fire, forcing Gnanavel and his family to go into hiding.

Saravana Vadivel, a cruel and merciless police inspector, is assigned to bring Thamba's killer to justice.

Since Amudhan is the prime suspect, Vadivel orders him to present himself at Cuddalore and prove his innocence, failing which he will be considered as Thamba's murderer and will be thrown into prison.

Amudhan leaves for Cuddalore at midnight, with policemen heavily guarding the bus and route in which he is travelling to prevent him from escaping.

Meenu Kutty is forced to sit in the police station by Vadivel as he hopes that Amudhan will take the blame for the murder to protect his fiancé.
