Plot

Arivazhagan aka Arivu and his friend Kumar lock up and torture an unknown man in front of a camera filming the whole incident.

Flashback: Arivu is a writer for a press and the eldest son of a retired police head constable and his wife. He has a brother named Mathiyazhagan aka Mathi, who is a first-year engineering student. Arivu's middle-class family life is however happy with his friend Kumar mingling as one of the family. The problem begins when Mathi, who is pressured by his girlfriend to get a bike, persuades his family to get him a bike.

Though hesitant at first, they agree to get him a bike of his choice. However, a delay in getting his bike and seeing his classmate Ganesh spending casually makes him curious to know what he does for money. Ganesh introduces Mathi to the heinous crime of chain snatching and also introduces Guna, who is heading a gang of young college-going chain snatchers. Mathi joins the gang and starts to earn through chain snatching and get all the things he wants. [3]

Mathi decides to do these crimes alone without having to give Guna any commission. Though hesitant at first, the others join him when 2 of the boys get caught by police and Guna does not come to their aid. Mathi goes back to his house to get a chain recently snatched by him, only to find his mother with the chain and all the other gadgets he owns without his parents's knowledge.

An argument begins, and Mathi pushes his mother to death. When Arivu and his father come home to realize their mother's death, Kumar vows to avenge the loss even when Arivu joins in. During a police investigation, Arivu and Kumar track down a house breaker and nab him to an unknown location

Present: Arivu calls the police to hand over the house breaker and runs away with the bag. He takes the bag with 23 kgs of stolen gold chains to a black market buyer. At that place, he finds his mother's chain, which leads him to the chain snatchers. Arivu leaves the place, not before killing all the men in there.

Meanwhile, Mathi injects Guna with a drug that makes him insane and loses his senses. Arivu goes to Guna's place and finds out the next plan of the snatchers. He leaves with Kumar to the place, and a fight ensues where Arivu and Kumar manage to kill 3-4 men. Unknown that the 2 men are his brother and friend, Mathi removes his helmet and reveals his face.

Shocked in despair, Arivu and Kumar removes their helmet too, which surprises Mathi. When Mathi pleads with Arivu to spare him, Arivu ignores and kills him. The next day, Arivu and Kumar reveal the truth to Arivu's father and surrenders to the police.
