==Plot==

Radhika ([[Khushbu]]) is an honest government employee and she is in charge of the food ration shop. She is then transferred to a remote village. In the village, everything goes well until the release from jail of the dreaded Rajappa ([[Napoleon (actor)|Napoleon]]) who spent 5 years in jail. Rajappa is known to be a dangerous man who sold illicit [[arrack]] and raped the village girls. Half of the villagers flee the village and they settle down in the nearby village. The village police Inspector ([[Ajay Rathnam]]) wants to send Rajappa back in jail.

Upon his arrival at the village, Rajappa rapes the poor Radhika. Much to his surprise, Radhika challenges him to change him as a good man. Later, Radhika becomes pregnant and gives birth to a baby girl. When Radhika names her daughter as Sivagami, Rajappa turns berserk (Sivagami was his mother's name). Radhika tells him his past and his mother's past.

When Rajappa was a school student, he was brainwashed by the illicit [[arrack]] seller Uthamarasa (Raviraj) and he began to sell his illicit products. His mother Sivagami ([[Sathyapriya]]) and his sister left him and started a new life in [[Sivakasi]], his sister got married and had a girl : Radhika. Many years later, Rajappa's mother Sivagami and his niece Radhika came to see Rajappa during the village festival. His mother strongly believed that he had changed and became a good man. But Rajappa became a womanizer and a dreaded [[arrack]] seller. At the festival, he got into a fight with the local arrack merchants and killed them all. After seeing this, Sivagami died of heart attack in Radhika's hands. That day, Radhika decided to change Rajappa as a good man.
