Veerame Vaagai Soodum 2022

Purusothaman “Porus”, Vishal Krishna, is a determined young man from a middle‑class Chennai family who dreams of earning the prestigious IPS badge. He lives with his father, a dedicated constable named Ponnuswamy, his patient mother Kanchana, and his sister Dwaraka, who shares Porus’s sense of justice and courage. The story kicks off as Porus balances the pressures of family duty with his own ambitions, all while watching his village and city grapple with growing corruption and abuse of power.

In Karaikudi District, a factory owned by the influential Nedunchezhiyan becomes the flashpoint for a larger battle over local environmental damage and the rights of ordinary people. Parishuddam, a passionate social activist, leads protests against the factory’s waste, drawing attention to how the plant’s pollution has devastated nearby villages. The tension thickens when a local thug, Guna, and Nedunchezhiyan’s network threaten and bully the residents, including Dwaraka. Porus steps in after Guna oversteps his bounds, taking him to Nedunchezhiyan’s doorstep and witnessing a stern rebuke from Selvam, a powerful local strongman who has his own code of honor. Faizal, Dwaraka’s friend, confesses his love for her, complicating the web of loyalties and resentments that already simmer beneath the surface.

A parallel thread follows Ilanchezhiyan, known as Ela, Nedunchezhiyan’s younger brother, whose own misadventures with a girl named Divya push both families into increasingly dangerous confrontations. Ela’s actions spark a disturbing chain of events: Divya and Dwaraka briefly find themselves pushed to the edge, even attempting suicide in moments of despair. The simmering conflict spills over as Nedunchezhiyan and his henchmen try to outmaneuver Parishuddam, while town rivalries and family loyalties become tangled in a dangerous dance of threats, bribes, and retaliation. The tensions escalate when Ela’s faction and Nedunchezhiyan’s faction collide, with Divya and Dwaraka becoming targets in a brutal display of power.

The plan goes into motion when Ela accidentally abducts Dwaraka as she stops by a medical store. Ravi and his gang kidnap Parishuddam and drag him into Nedunchezhiyan’s factory, while Nedunchezhiyan himself orchestrates a shocking act of violence: he and his men behead Parishuddam, a brutal signal that they will stop at nothing to silence dissent. Dwaraka, hidden away during the chaos, manages to send a voice message to Faizal that captures crucial details about Nedunchezhiyan’s involvement in Parishuddam’s death. But the danger intensifies as Nedunchezhiyan captures Dwaraka and conversations about Sworn Oaths mix with fear as Porus and his family confront a nightmare that threatens them all.

Porus digs deeper, realizing that the deaths of Faizal and Dwaraka are not unfolding in a neat, linear order. He begins a meticulous, ground‑level investigation, targeting each gang member connected to Nedunchezhiyan’s crime network in a quest to uncover the conspirators behind the two deaths. Along the way, he learns about the brutal mechanics of the operation: Faizal’s phone holds a hidden record of brutal acts, including the fate of Guna, and a hacker helps unearth the truth behind a cascade of killings that Nedunchezhiyan has engineered. The stakes rise when Dwaraka’s life hangs in the balance and Divya’s father, Raghupathi, lends support in a bid to bring vengeance to the culprits.

The pursuit leads Porus to confront Nedunchezhiyan’s inner circle. Nedunchezhiyan captures Ponnuswamy, Porus’s father, and tries to use him as leverage to obtain the crucial recording. Porus refuses to hand it over and endangers his own family as he fights back, even as Ela and her faction press their advantage. The rebellion culminates in a brutal confrontation: Nedunchezhiyan’s gang kills Faizal and Dwaraka, while Ela’s own actions intensify the battlefield. In a chilling turn, Selvam exacts his own brand of justice by killing Nedunchezhiyan and his remaining men with a ruthless display of power.

With the evidence in hand and his resolve unbroken, Porus and his ally, Divya’s father Raghupathi, turn to a drastic plan to erase the traces of Nedunchezhiyan’s crimes. They dispose of bodies in a meat grinder at the zoo where Raghupathi works, feeding the remains to crocodiles so there will be no evidence left to connect Nedunchezhiyan to the murders. The operation marks a grim victory for Porus, who is ultimately appointed as an IPS officer. In a final act that ties the threads of duty, Porus quietly helps Parishuddam’s son with hospital expenses, ensuring that one more family receives aid in the wake of tragedy.

Throughout the tale, the lines between justice and vengeance blur, and Porus must navigate a landscape where loyalty is tested, alliances shift, and the price of truth can be deadly. In the end, Porus’s ascent to law enforcement power comes with a heavy moral burden: delivering accountability while shielding those who cannot defend themselves, even as he acknowledges the personal cost of seeking justice in a world overshadowed by corruption and violence.
