Plot

Raja and Radha are lovers. Raja is a rich man who has now fallen into depths of despair and poverty due to machinations of Ramasamy who was their accountant. He has taken over the family property after sending Raja to prison under fake rape and murder charges. Radha too has left him. Inspector Prasanth joins duty and strikes an odd friendship with Raja after initial skirmishes. He rehabilitates Raja, who is an engineer by education, by giving him a civil contract for construction of a bridge. Life seems to turn for the better until Ramasamy finds out that the inspector is now reinvestigating the fake charges. He attempts to destroy the bridge, damage Raja and Prasanth's name and save himself. Does he succeed or does Raja manage to redeem himself?
