01 · Overview

The Film

An honest police officer humiliates a criminal, who takes revenge by kidnapping the officer's son and raising him to be loyal to him. Years later, the officer is posted to the now-powerful kingpin's territory, setting father against son until the son learns the truth.

The Indian Express called it a disappointment with a repetitive story; Kalki praised Vijayakanth's performance as the father.
