Plot
Vishwa (Arjun) is a goonda and an aspiring boxing champion. He does the typical goonda jobs (like scaring a batsman of the local cricket club to make sure he becomes out) for Sopraj (Sharat Saxena), the local dada. He is usually bailed out by a lawyer (Raadhika), who believes that there is still good in him and he just needs to be given another chance. Sopraj is aiming to build a colony in the area after vacating the people already living there. Vishwa's brother Raghu (Raghuvaran), is an accountant on Sopraj's payroll. Love blossoms between Vishwa and Divya (Rambha), the girlfriend of the head of a local gang. When a social worker Vikram (Ranjith) intrudes in the affairs of Sopraj, he asks Vishwa to bring Vikram to him. Vishwa does so thinking that Sopraj is just going to talk some sense into him but Sopraj brutally kills him instead. This makes Vishwa turn over a new leaf. Though his love for his brother prevents him initially, he finally decides to turn approver against Sopraj.

Release
The film became a commercial failure at the box office and prompted a legal tussle between actor Arjun and producer K. R. Gangadharan soon after regarding non-payment as per contract.[4]
Owing to the success of Mudhalvan (1999) in Telugu, the film's dubbing rights were bought in advance of the original release and a Telugu version titled Bose was released alongside the Tamil film.[5]
