Plot

Chellaiya has two missions in life. The first is to remove the taint on the family name and expose the man behind his family's misfortunes. The second is to make his younger sibling a lawyer so that it will help him in achieving the first mission. The villain of the piece is Chellaiya's uncle Masilamani, who had turned the villagers against Chellaiya's father Singaperumal. Humiliated by the same people who had revered him once, Singaperumal dies of shock soon after (a laborious death scene). A few decades have passed since the incident, but Chellaiya seems nowhere near to fulfilling his mission, nor has Masilamani given up his wicked ways. In fact, Masilamani is stronger now, what with his two sons grown up and matching their father step-to-step in his villainy. The trio has no redeeming qualities. Many clichéd scenes later, Chellaiya fulfills his mission and redeems his family's reputation.

Cast

Production

[2] Meena had earlier refused to work in the film, feeling that the role of playing a mother onscreen would hurt further opportunities for her. [3]

Soundtrack

The soundtrack was composed by Aslam Mustafa, with lyrics written by Vairamuthu. [4]

Reception

Malini Mannath wrote for Chennai Online: "It is the same old storyline, same old incidents, practically the same old stars and the same old performances. The director tries to whip up excitement towards the end with some violent, bloody action scenes, but then it is a bit too late". [5] Visual Dasan of Kalki wrote the director does have screenplay knowledge and he should apply it in a new story next time. [6] Alex won the Tamil Nadu State Film Award for Best Villain. [7]
