Ramalingam believes in God more than anything else in this world. He is once called by God who tells him that he has to inform people about the various things about to happen in the future. Ramalingam starts his task of telling people, but no one believes him in the beginning. Slowly when what he says starts occurring people term him a powerful monk and start coming to him. God takes several other famous actor forms and keeps hinting the world through Ramalingam. One day, God tells Ramalingam that his son is going to die. The tables turn and Ramalingam starts cursing God. Does God win Ramalingam's faith back is the story.
