==Plot==<br />
<br />
Subhash ([[Vijayakanth]]) is the son industrialist udayar ([[Vijayakumar (Tamil actor)|Vijayakumar]]), an influential man who helps pull down one government, and set up another. Subhash is sympathetic to the cause of down-trodden lives in their midst, fighting for their rights. Initially, his father's name is Armour but when his actions—like his clashes with the son ([[Mansoor Ali Khan (actor)|Mansoor Ali Khan]]) of a minister (John Amirtharaj)—threaten to bring down the very government which his father supports, latter washes his hands of him, and he is a market man.<br />
<br />
The local MLA ([[Thyagu (actor)|Thyagu]]) exploits the innocent people of the slums and gets their votes by using the common caste-factor. Subhash acquaints them of their rights, exposes the politicians for what they are and earns the love and respect of the poor. Thilakavathi ([[Jaya Prada]]), and MP is sympathetic to his cause for which she is held prisoner by her colleagues. However, all ends well with Subhash recovering from a near-fatal wound and the exposed politicians getting their [[just deserts]] throughout an irate job.<br />
