Indian cinema gets its new prototype of a hero who stands up against severe atrocities to emerge triumphant against all odds.
Vijay, as an adolescent, loss his family to Teja (Ajit), an underworld don and crosses swords with him as an inspector several years later no knowing that it is the same man who has slaughtered his loved ones years ago.
