Dhanush is the hero and director of this film and the film also stars SJ Surya, Prakashraj, Selvaragavan, Kalidas Jayaram, Sandeep Kishan, Tushara Vijayan, Aparna Balamurali, Varalakshmi Sarathkumar, Saravanan, Dileepan etc. The film is produced by Sun pictures.
The story of the film begins in a rural area in South Tamil Nadu. A couple lives in poverty with four children. The parents said they were going to town but did not return home.
Rayan, the eldest of the four, comes to North Chennai with his two younger brothers and a younger sister. There he works hard and brings up his younger brothers and younger sister. Dhanush is the one who plays Rayan. His younger brothers are Sandeep Kishan and Kalidas Jayaram. Dushara Vijayan is coming as younger sister. There are two gangs in the same area. Saravanan Gang and SJ Surya Gang. Saravanan kills SJ Surya's father so SJ Surya waits to kill Saravanan. Prakashraj, a high-ranking police officer, is waiting for a fight between the two. In this context, Sandeep drunkenly kills Saravanan's son. Enraged by this, Saravanan tries to kill Sandeep. Dhanush kills Saravanan for his brother. Seeing this madness of Dhanush, SJ Surya asks him to come and join his gang, leaving SJ Surya aside saying that his family is important. But SJ Surya continues to give Dhanush trouble. How did Dhanush manage SJ Suriya..?? Did Dhanush consummate Tushara's marriage .??? That is the rest of the story of the film.
Director Dhanush goes into the story at the beginning of the film without creating unnecessary song scenes without unnecessary love scenes and has understood what the story needs. Director Dhanush has chosen the characters of the film very well. Each star selection adds strength to the story flow of the film. Especially the characters like Tushara Vijayan, SJ Surya, Saravanan, Sudeep Kishan, Kalidas Jayaram Selvaragavan have all played great roles. Even though Prakash Raj has played many roles and accepted many police roles, he has never done a role like this. Tushara Vijayan brings to our eyes the performance of heroines like old actress Patapat & Shoba. we can say that she is also a treasure of Tamil cinema.
Similarly, characters like SJ Surya, Saravanan, Sudeep Kishan, Kalidas Jayaram E. Selvaragavan have shown their talent in accordance with the story of the movie. Dhanush is an artist who should be celebrated. He is a boon to Indian cinema and one of the best artists of this century. Just like Dhanush is a great actor and director, music sensation AR Raghuman has proved that he can give great music not only in western music but also in our country's music.
