With his brave act he saves a public bus taken hostage by the accomplices of a don who has been arrested for smuggling redstanders.

The old man gives refuge to Vijay (Pa. Vijay) a reporter in a prominent Tamil news channel and (Chandini Tamilarasan), as they have eloped as a couple. Meanwhile, Vellaichamy crosses swords with the local don (Rajendran) by wreaking havoc to some of his criminal activities and a corrupt police officer (M. S. Bhaskar) who is loyal to the don.
