Plot


Dhamodaran sells black cinema tickets alongside his friends Sedhu and Vicky. Dhamodaran is known to be an angry man, thus he promises his mother Vellaiyamma that he will avoid violence. Jothi, Dhamodaran's cousin, is deeply in love with Dhamodaran.
Shanmugavel, a corrupt politician, is an influential man whom even the police cannot arrest for his crimes. His son Bhaskar spreads terror among the college students. Eswarapandiyan, an honest police officer, is determined to arrest Shanmugavel. Later, Uma, Eswarapandiyan 's wife, is killed by Shanmugavel, and Eswarapandian is left for dead.
Thereafter, Mahalakshmi, an orphan, moves into the house opposite to Dhamodaran's house. Mahalakshmi soon becomes a college lecturer. Dhamodaran falls in love with Mahalakshmi, but she advises him to first become a decent man. Dhamodaran then becomes a mechanic and changes his behavior. In the meantime, Bhaskar loses the college's chairman election mainly due to Mahalakshmi, who supported the other contestant. After seeing Mahalakshmi and Dhamodaran's love, Jothi sacrifices her love and decides to marry another man.
Soon, Dhamodaran clashes with Bhaskar's henchmen to save his lover Mahalakshmi. When Bhaskar tries to undress Mahalakshmi, Vellaiyamma interferes and is pushed into a sewer. Mahalakshmi then sets herself on fire. Dhamodaran comes too late and discovers their dead bodies. He then turns berserk and kills Bhaskar. Dhamodaran is later arrested by the police, and Shanmugavel challenges Dhamodaran to kill him. Eswarapandiyan then saves Dhamodaran from the police. What transpires later forms the crux of the story.




Cast






Production


Despite the film I Love India (1993) failing at the box-office, star Sarathkumar decided to collaborate again with the same producer for another film which eventually became Maha Prabhu. The film marked the directorial debut of A. Venkatesh and it was reported to be based on a real life event which happened when he worked as a reporter for Maalai Malar.




Soundtrack


The music was composed by Deva, with lyrics written by Vaali.




Reception


D. S. Ramanujam of The Hindu wrote, "The action sequences are tightly edited (Lenin and V. T. Vijayan) and framed (camera: T. Vijayagopal) right from the start and the screenplay of the director, backed by his dialogue, make it worth the time".




Legacy


Senthil's dialogue "No Comments Simbly Waste" entered Tamil vernacular, often used by people when tired of responding to questions.
