Plot

Bhavani (Sneha), an honest police officer in Hyderabad, is posted as Assistant Commissioner of Police in Tirunelveli upon the request of the Tamil Nadu government. The town is controlled by Sivalingam (Kota Srinivasa Rao), a baddie and aspiring politician who indulges in all unlawful activities. Bhavani resolves to put an end to all his acts. Meanwhile, Surya (Sampath Raj) voices against Sivalingam. As it happens, Sivalingam's son Ranjith (Aryan) plays spoilsport in the life of Bhavani's sister Deepa (Yasmin Khan). Efforts to prove him guilty by Bhavani end in vain. Now, a conspiracy is hatched by Bhavani in the company of Surya, and Ranjith is killed. An enraged Sivalingam takes Bhavani head-on. Sivalingam vows vengeance, and what happens from there forms the rest of the story.

Release and reception

Bhavani was released on 11 March 2011 after a week from the scheduled release date of 4 March 2011 due to financial problems. [7] The film opened to mixed reviews with a critic from The New Indian Express writing that "Sneha may not have touched the energy level that her senior had infused into the role, but there’s no denying that she has put in great effort, particularly in the stunt-chase scenes". [8] The film was released with 160 prints in Tamil Nadu and in 12 screens in Mumbai, highest for a non-hero film. [9] On the opening week-end, the film collected average returns at the box-office.
