Plot
Pachchamuthu, by his own confession, is a ruffian, and due to the fear he is able to whip up, he rules over a slum area in Chennai. He is a sadist, a pervert, and he treats his own mother like a slave worker and swears at her. He is always on the lookout to make a fast buck and has no qualms about doing dirty jobs for others - provided he is paid.
One day, Pachcha walks into a marriage pandal and peeps into the female dressing room through a hole. He sees the rich and fair looking bride-to-be Poovu removing her clothes. After seeing her completely nude, intensely aroused by her voluptuous body, Pachcha plans to have sex with her one way or the other. He beats up the groom, convinces the people there, and eventually marries the poor girl. After returning to his slum with her, he continually subjects her to his sexual whims and fancies.
Poovu, however, turns out to be a kind woman who sympathizes with the slumdwellers who are terrified of Pachcha. One day, Pachcha decides to test the loyalty of the colony people by pretending to be dead. But he is shocked to see the entire people in the place celebrating his death - except his mother. This changes him completely. Pachcha renounces his ways and breaks up the gang of ruthless moneylenders. The villagers celebrate.
