- To earn some quick money through betting, Ravi, a jobless youngster, crosses path with Bittu, a criminal, by foiling his bank heist. Since then, Ravi has to use his wits to escape the wrath of Bittu.
- A master robber and thug named Bittu and a local MLA named Varatharajan plan to rob Rs. 15 billion (US$190 million) (Rs. 1,500 crores) from a bank. Ravi Narayan believes in earning quick money rather than toiling like his father Narayana Murthy. During a chance meeting with Bittu, Ravi reveals his intention of making quick money by betting on an IPL match and discloses the location of the betting ring. However, the police raid the location, and Ravi is apprehended. During interrogation, Ravi deduces that Bittu has tipped off the cops to commit a crime and convinces ACP Rajamanickam. Bittu successfully robs the bank, and his brother Lala takes the money to the city's dumping yard.
However, the police catch Lala, who resists them, only to be killed by Ravi. Meanwhile, Bittu goes to the dumping yard to collect the money but is shocked as the dumping yard is burnt to ashes. Having his brother dead and the money burnt, Bittu decides to kill Ravi. Manickam sends Ravi to Coimbatore from Chennai under the Witness Protection Program and makes him stay at his friend DIG Sitaram's house. One day, Ravi happens to see Madhu, a middle-class girl who works with travel agent Murthy, an associate of Bittu. He prepares fake passports for Bittu's gang to help them escape from India. Ravi befriends Madhu, both fall in love with each other and the two find out about Bittu.
Bittu kills Rajamanickam by planting a bomb in his car and also attacks Ravi's family where his father gets hospitalised but recovers, which makes him realise his mistakes and also asks him to retrieve the money for the people, who toiled day and night for their family. Ravi finds that his sister Raji is kidnapped and also framed for Rajamanickam's murder when he unknowingly picked up a call which is a phone bomb activated in the car but is released with the help of DIG Sitaram. Ravi finds that Rajamanickam had faked his death as Bittu learned of Rajamanickam and Varatharajan's plan when he learns that they exchanged the money in the dumping yard into fake currencies which were burnt by them to let Bittu think that Ravi burnt the money.
Bittu kills Rajamanickam and Varatharajan and plans to escape from the country by having the money stored in a container and transporting it to a goods ship. Ravi, having deduced Bittu's plan fools the henchman and makes them return the money to the bank. The henchman gets killed by the mob, who were protesting at the bank. A showdown occurs between Ravi and Bittu where Ravi kills Bittu with Sitaram's help, exposes the stolen money and also saves Raji. The movie concludes with Ravi realizing the importance of hard work over any apparent short-term routes to success. In the end, Ravi attends an interview and gets selected for the job, in which he earns Rs. 25,000 (US$310).
