Contents |
One fateful incident on Napier Bridge in Chennai changes three men's lives forever. Madhavan plays Inbashekar, a hitman who has no qualms about doing dirty dealings for money. He is assigned a job to shoot youth leader and student activist Michael (Surya Sivakumar), and succeeds on Napier Bridge, while Michael rides by on his motorbike. As Michael falls into the river, Arjun (Siddharth), a young student standing nearby is the sole witness of the incident.
After the attack is shown at the beginning of the film, the plot moves to tell each of the individuals' stories separately, and where the lives of each overlap. The three characters struggle with their own aspirations whilst trying to maintain a balance in their respective love lives. Inbashekar struggles to let go of his lifestyle, encouraged by his brother, despite pleas for change from his wife Sasi (Meera Jasmine). Michael, a passionate student activist works to rally students to participate in fighting corruption in politics, and tries to balance this with a relationship with his playful, gutsy neighbour Geetha (Esha Deol). Arjun must decide between shaping a career in America, or forming a long-term relationship with Meera (Trisha Krishnan).
The soundtrack features 6 songs composed and one additional song by A. R. Rahman, with lyrics by Vairamuthu.
