Diwakar (Sarath Kumar), an Indian Brigadier, is charged to eradicate the terrorism in Kashmir. Diwakar lives with his beloved sister Anu (Shenbagam). His neighbour Priya (Tisca Chopra) falls in love with him. One day, the terrorists kidnap Anu and they kill her thereafter. In the past, Diwakar promised Anu to marry Priya. To fulfil his sister's wish, Diwakar eventually marries Priya. But Diwakar cannot live happily as long as he does not eliminate the terrorists.
After the success of the film Suriyan, Sarath Kumar teamed up with the same team, consisting of director Pavithran, cinematographer Ashok Kumar and editor duo B. Lenin and V. T. Vijayan, for the second time.
The soundtrack was composed by Ilaiyaraaja, with lyrics written by Vaali.[5]

A critic from Indolink noted, "Pavithran's direction lacks direction" and that "the only saving grace is the music of Illayaraja ; a couple of songs are really melodious and lilting tunes, and the background music is commendable, as is the photography of Ashok Kumar and the editing skills of Lenin and Vijayan". He added that the film is "technically well made and lavishly mounted, but fails to grip the viewer in any way."[6]
