Synopsis: A youngster based in North Madras called Maari (Manoj Devadoss) develops a passion for boxing or rather a rough version of the sport in which fighters don't don boxing gloves. He trains under Mani(George Vijay), who goes to the extent of bringing him up. At one point, Mani is compelled by Devaraj(Rajesh), a don who is into fixing and betting fights, to fix a fight in a private tournament. Devaraj wants Mani's fighter to lose to his boxer. Mani has no option but to agree and decides to field Maari for the bout. However, Maari wins, angering the don, who now challenges Mani to another fight - one on which he bets all that he has...
Review: The movie begins with a promising introduction through which one is presented little known details of North Madras such as the love that most of those native to the area have for the sport of boxing. However, just when you begin to think that this movie might, after all, be the one to capture the true spirit of North Madras in an uncompromising way, you realize that the director has lost the plot.
The film's story has potential and could have well gone on to become a gripping one, if only more attention had been paid to the authenticity of certain sequences and the manner in which they have been packaged. For instance, Manoj Devadoss as Maari looks convincing as a boxer.
