The film tells the tale of a grieving cop Aravind (Arulnithi) coming to terms with the loss of his wife and child, who were gunned down in front of his eyes. He drowns his sorrow in alcohol and soon his job is on the line. 

The city police are baffled by a series of murders that has caught the attention of the media.

Joint Commissioner (Radharavi), a well-wisher of Aravind, believes that handing the case to Aravind might help him snap out of his depression.

How Aravind puts together all the pieces of the puzzle and tries to find the identity of the killer forms the rest of the story.

Although, the killer's patterns paint him as a psychotic serial murderer who takes his time and enjoys his heinous works, the personal motives behind the crimes contradicts his personality. 

Ishwarya Rajesh, in her brief appearance, shows grace. Aishwarya Dutta doesn't add any value to the film though. Robo Shankar has a solid role of a sloppy police officer but has dialogues that seem to force the humour, for the sake of entertainment.

Radha Ravi has a good role too and no wonder he brings his sharp expertise to the table.

Dialogues are an issue throughout the movie. The deliberation to convey certain information is evident and hence causes artificiality. 

Thaman's background scores play a huge role and the composer has done justice to his part. His scores in the initial encounter sequence.
