Storyline

A police officer named Sampath (Mime Gopi) has been murdered in his posh bungalow and the investigation is handed over to Inspector Ilavarasi (Eswari Rao). Before that, Sub-Inspector Moorthy (Venkat Prabhu) arrests a local goon for Sampath’s murder on the spot.

As Ilavarasi takes up the investigation, she finds the knife which was used for the murder is different from the knife which was spotted at the scene. She also finds more loop-holes on the case.

Also, Vasanth (Vaibhav), a subordinate to Murthy, who was assigned the suicide case of a house maid, finds that her death is related to the murdered cop. In the meantime, the arrested goon dies and the case gets complex.

The rest is all about who is the real culprit, who is helping them out, what is the reason behind Sampath’s murder and whether Ilavarasi is able to catch the murderers.
