Hari is an unemployed youth who runs a pavement book shop in Tripiclane area. His father, an upright retired schoolteacher, buys him a shop in a building with his PF money. He names it "Periyar Bookshop" and runs it with his two friends. Meanwhile, he constantly bumps into a TV reporter Pooja, and a love-hate relationship happens. One day, a Malaysian-based businessman named Mahadevan comes and evicts Hari from the shop, claiming that it belongs to him. Hari now discovers that his father was cheated by a land mafia gang which specializes in forged documents and is hand-in-glove with revenue officials. He decides to take the gauntlet and unveil the evil forces behind the property grabbers. Soon, he discovers that Nama Shivayam, Vinayagam real estates owner, is the brains behind the entire operation. How Hari becomes a one-man army and brings Nama Shivayam to justice forms the rest of the story.
