Plot

DCP Gopal Iyer is an encounter specialist. He comes across a Muslim woman named Nasreen, whose father is killed by gangsters. Out of pity, he marries her much against his parents' opposition. Suddenly, Nasreen passes away in a childbirth. Meanwhile, Jenniffer, a scribe, learns of a fake encounter organized by Iyer to bump off a known rowdy. She follows him from then, blackmailing him, but Iyer, who thinks that evil forces do not deserve a chance in the court, does not change his style of operations. Elsewhere, a mute gangster named Venkatachalapathy, whose men killed Nasreen's father, vows to kill Iyer after he got imprisoned after apprehended by Iyer. Now aware that his son kills people in the name of encounters, Iyer's father Vishwanatha Iyer decides to take cudgels against him. He falls in to the vicious trap of Venkatachalapathy, and the rest is about how Iyer embarks on a mission to rescue his family and put an end to Venkatachalapathy's shenanigans.

Reception

Indiaglitz wrote "Lengthy dialogues and needless stunts make the watching even more tedious." [2] Chennai Online wrote "The weak script, inane charecterisation and the director being totally like a fish out of water in the milieu he's chosen, have all taken their toll on Satyaraj's performance too." [3] Cinesouth wrote "The film is taken with the sole intention making money by using the present 'salability' of Sathyaraj. In this film, Ari had written the story, screenplay and had produced this movie, without 'bothering to direct' it. He should be appreciated for this rare courage. Sathyaraj should be 'appreciated' for having acted in this half- baked movie". [4] The Hindu wrote "HARIRAJAN, [..] should have worked more on the script, his own, to make it neat and tight. As such it sags at several places tempting the viewer to take a nap not only in between, but also in the climax. Except Satyaraj, the actors fail to raise to the expectations". [5]
