A town in southern Salem is already on the verge of being depopulated because a goon named Jayaseelan bans anybody in the area from practising agriculture in order to sell the village’s fertile grounds to a corporate corporation for their requirements. The village chief meets Sethupathi, a Samaritan thug on the outskirts of Chennai, and asks him to assassinate Jayaseelan so that the village may return to normal. Sethupathi quickly accepts, believing that he owes it to society to do something right after committing several wrongdoings in the past. Simultaneously, Sethupathi’s son Vikram, affectionately known as Sulthan, returns from his leave in Bombay.
After Sulthan’s mother died shortly after giving birth to him, Mansoor, Sethupathi’s right hand, as well as the 100 thugs who worked under him nurtured him. He is taught not to tolerate violence and therefore is brought up by everyone in a caring manner, treating them as his own siblings.
At the very same time, the city’s police department launches a sting operation to murder all or most of the city’s goons in unauthorised encounters in order to restore peace. During the firefight, Sulthan as well as his family are ambushed by police officers, and that one of the goons is seriously hurt. This has an effect on Sulthan, and he has become psychologically tainted as a result. Sethupathi dies in his sleep the next day after an angry conversation with his father over this.
Sulthan approaches Inspector Rathnavel and pleads with him just to save his brothers, stating that he is willing to go to any length. Rathnavel asks that he keep them silent and that no charges be brought against them, no matter how little. At the same time, Mansoor sent 20 men to Salem, alongside Otta Lorry, to assassinate Jayaseelan. Sulthan apprehends them as they attempt to flee, and Otta Lorry fabricates a marriage proposal in the community. Sulthan plans to transport the entire gang to the village in order to avoid the conflict. The entire hamlet is asked to join in with their excuse, and Rukmini, the village head’s daughter, plays the role of the bride-to-be.
Sulthan falls in love with her at first sight as well as offers marriage to her, but Otta Lorry rejects her as an act.
