Plot
The story follows Raghu Ram (played by Sivakarthikeyan). He is a man suffering from a psychological condition called Fregoli delusion. This condition makes him believe that strangers are actually his loved ones in disguise. His condition stems from the trauma of losing his family during a trip to Pondicherry.
Meanwhile, a dangerous gang from North India is smuggling guns into Tamil Nadu. They plan to distribute these illegal weapons across the state. This creates fear and chaos everywhere. An honest NIA officer named Premnath (Biju Menon) is trying to stop them. He gets injured during a mission and meets Raghu in the hospital.
Premnath learns that Raghu has attempted suicide multiple times. He believes Raghu has nothing to lose. So he recruits him for a dangerous mission. Raghu must infiltrate the gang’s weapon factory and destroy it.
The story also shows Raghu’s past relationship with Malathy (Rukmini Vasanth). She is a dental student and part-time singer. They fall in love. But she discovers Raghu’s psychological condition. She realizes she has become his substitute for family. Believing she is putting lives in danger, she leaves him.
As Raghu gets deeper into the mission, he must confront the gang leaders Virat (Vidyut Jammwal) and Chirag (Shabeer Kallarakkal). The action intensifies when Chirag threatens to kill Malathy.
