Prathap is released from prison, and he learns that his sister Priya is missing. After initial efforts, Prathap finds Priya in a mental asylum and learns that she was the witness behind the crimes committed by brothers: Vimal Raj, Michael Raj and Alex Raj. Priya finally recovers and she reports Raj brothers' crimes to the media and an arrest warrant is issued. However, the Raj brothers corner Priya and finish her, which enrages Prathap. Prathap finally finishes the Raj brothers after an intense combat, thus avenging Priya's death.
The music was composed by Maragathamani, with lyrics by Vairamuthu.[1][2] For the Telugu dubbed version Muta Rowdy, all lyrics were written by Rajasri.[3] The song "En Kannanukku Kadhal" is based on Maragathamani's own song "Repalle Murali" from Telugu film Allari Mogudu.[citation needed]
