Starring Sharath Kumar and Nayanthara, the movie is about an orphan journalist, who takes revenge on society's evils.
Sharath and Nayanthara are colleagues working with a newspaper organization. Sharath is (annoyingly) bright, gets on Nayanthara's nerves, but treats the editor as his own father. The newspaper publishes revolutionary items that bring about social awakening. They discover that one of the cool drinks company is being set on a site that already has water problems and how the government is receiving bribes to let the factory be set up. This is published and as a result, the editor and his daughter are killed. Yet, Sharath takes over the responsibility and runs the press. His colleagues are attacked and finally he is 'legally' arrested.
After escaping from a plot where the police try to kill him, he returns to take revenge. He disguises himself and gets a job at the same factory and starts collecting evidence against the owner. Eventually, the truth is brought about after lots of muscle flexing and hard to believe hero saviour timings,etc.
One of those sappy patriotic movies that you can figure out the plot and ending even before the movie has headed halfway and then forgotten within the first half hour after the ending. This was probably one of the political movies of Sharath and it was drenched with it. Like I said, Sharath was trying to be very youthful, to the point of annoying, cause he didn't look youthful at all - more like an adult with midlife crisis throwing tantrums and attracting attention. Nayanthara was nothing more than a doll. Even Vadivelu's humour was void of its usual punch. Definitely good to skip this.
