Veera (Vikram), a Robin Hood-like guy also known as Raavanan, and his elder brother Singam (Prabhu) live in a tribal village somewhere near Ambasamudram in Tiruneveli. They mete out instant justice and run Kattapanchayat, but are loved, respected and feared by the locals.
Dev (Prithviraj), is the Superintendent of Police. He is on the hunt with other cops and a forest guard (Karthik), for Veera, who has taken his wife Ragini (Aishwarya Rai), as hostage.
Veera has a personal score to settle with the cops who are responsible for his sister Vennela’s (Priyamani) custodial rape and subsequent suicide.
Meanwhile, Ragini, who initially abhors Veera and thinks he is a brutal beast, later discovers that her husband has dark shades in his character, too.
All this leads to a riveting climax on the cliffs.
