== Plot ==
Shiva and his accomplices loot {{INRConvert|150|c}} from a rich businessman. Sathya, Shiva's real twin brother, works in the [[realtor|real-estate business]]. Sathya meets Subha, an upright girl, at an estate deal. Subha blackmails Sathya to hand over {{INRConvert|2|l}} or she will complain to the police as the people, who had paid the money for the [[Real estate contract|estate deal]], are actually cheated by the land owner. However, Subha had made Sathya to make a statement of giving the money if she gets cheated in the estate deal. Days pass by, Sathya returns the money to Subha and the people and Subha and Sathya fall for each other.

Meanwhile, the businessman appoints [[Assistant Commissioner|ACP]] Kishore, a no-nonsense corrupt officer, to search for the robber. After a brief investigation, Kishore interrogates Sathya, but gets stopped by [[Deputy Commissioner|DCP]] Sarathkumar and reveals that Sathya lodged a complaint against his fake twin brother Shiva, who has been torturing him and is also behind several robberies. Kishore suspects foul play and believes that Sathya also known as Shiva are the same person with fake twin, which is later revealed to be true. Sathya and his accomplices rob {{INRConvert|120|c}} from another rich businessman by sneaking into the [[police station]] as [[drain cleaner]]s and digging a tunnel to a factory, where the money is hidden.

The two businessmen become partners and send their henchmen to interrogate Sathya, who defeats them. Subha learns about his real identity and breaks up with him. Kishore tries to expose Sathya by a written complaint from the land owner (who was the one who cheated Sathya, but Sathya had masqueraded as Shiva and had blackmailed him to hand over the money), but to no avail. Sathya reveals his past and his desire for money to Subha, who understands his situation. Sathya tells that he decided to mend his ways for Subha, where she reunites with him. Later, the businessmen kidnap Sathya's accomplices and their families and call Sathya to hand over their money.

Sathya disguises himself as Shiva and calls the businessmen, where he saves the accomplices and their families by pretending to burn their money. At the hideout, Kishore finds Sathya, who makes a deal with Kishore to call the businessmen to arrange an attack on him and fake his death in exchange for {{INRConvert|100|c}}. As planned, Sathya fakes his death with Subha and Sarathkumar as the witnesses, where he later double-crosses Kishore in charges of killing Shiva and Kishore gets arrested. Sathya and Subha get married, but Sathya still continues his masquerade as Shiva to rob unaccounted money from corrupt businessmen, without Subha's knowledge.
