Plot

The film starts in heaven where Yama's assistant Chitragupta loses the Brahma Suvadi book written by Shiva, Vishnu, and Brahma to administrate human birth, death, post-death punishment, and rebirth. The Brahma Suvadi falls into a city in Tamil Nadu, and Gopi, a young man, gets hold of the book and becomes rich using it. At the same time, Brahma come to know that the book is lost and orders Yama and Chitragupta to locate the book within one month. Chitragupta fears that if the book is seen by humans, chaos will happen. However, Yama assures him that only the details of the person who is viewing the same will be shown by the book. Meanwhile, Yama and Chitragupta come to Tamil Nadu to search for the book. One day, Gopi learns about his mother's death date through that book. Now, Gopi wants to save his mother and win his lover. Gopi's opponent Sivaraman, a ruthless don, wants to know Gopi's secret of success, and he plans to steal the book from Gopi by abducting his mother and lover. In the climax, Yama helps Gopi secure the book from Sivaraman and kill him. Yama also spares Gopi's mother's life for his help.
