Spoilers ahead
The film opens with a reckless race on a busy road: a drunk Rahul Dewan speeds a Toyota Land Cruiser Prado against an Audi, drawn in by a seductive passenger, only to lose control and slam into a wall along the footpath. The scene shifts to a tense court room where the judge, Justice Dhanapal, presides over a high-stakes case involving a surgeon who operated on a pregnant woman in a bid to break a Guinness record. Justice Dhanapal, played by Radha Ravi, rules that the surgeon’s actions may be controversial but the evidence against him is not clear enough to pursue a conviction, and Rahul Dewan’s alleged crime against the public ends in an acquittal.
