Plot
SR is a successful criminal lawyer who consistently wins his cases by manipulating court proceedings to his advantage. In one such case, he conspires with some criminals to frame an innocent man named Thyagarajan for murder, resulting in his death penalty. Thyagarajan's wife, Srividya, and their two children, a son and a daughter, plead with SR, but to no avail. After Thyagarajan's execution, Srividya disappears and is presumed dead.
The two children are adopted by a kind-hearted lawyer and raised as his own. Years later, the son grows up to become Rajkumar, a successful lawyer in his own right. Meanwhile, SR's spoiled son, Madhu, becomes classmates with Rajkumar's sister.
Rajkumar takes on a case defending an innocent doctor, Subhadra, who was framed for murder by SR's associates. Rajkumar wins the case and Subhadra is released, angering SR. Rajkumar befriends Subhadra's husband, Dr. Ravi, who helps him discover that his mother is alive and living in a psychiatric hospital.
Madhu hatches a plan to seduce and betray Rajkumar's sister as revenge against Rajkumar. She falls for Madhu and plans to elope with him, but their classmate Vanitha, who was already betrayed by Madhu, rescues her. Enraged, Madhu kills Vanitha and is framed for her murder. Rajkumar defends Madhu in court and proves him guilty, resulting in a death sentence.
SR plans to kill Rajkumar and his mother, but Srividya, who is revealed to be alive, shoots and kills SR outside the court premises.
