FEW HOURS LATER:

SITRA, COIMBATORE:

6:30 AM

Around 6:30 AM, an alarm triggers in the room of Vijey Abinesh, who yawns and wakes up. He gets ready, chants mantras inside his Pooja hall and starts to go for his college to attend his music course.

When attending the classes, one of his friends asked him: "Abinesh. Have you got to know about the death of Rishi Khanna?"

"Who is he da? I doesn't even know him well" said Abinesh to which, the guy asked him: "Don't you remember the undergraduation times? I introduced you to him right. When you was with Sai Adhithya, your close friend since school days."

"Oh. Ok ok. I remember now. How is he? Fine?"

After looking down a while, he replies: "No. He have been killed by someone yesterday night itseems. Our ACP Vikram Vasudev is investigating the case."

Meanwhile, Vikram Vasudev goes to the crime scene, where he instigated the forensic officers for clues. The body is sent for autopsy report. The same time, Abinesh meets his younger brother Tejas, with whom he have not talked due to work pressures.

Abinesh is born into a middle-class brahmin family consisting of his father Advocate Ganeshan, Mother Valli and younger sister Tryambha. He is among the favorites in his family. Because, he is multi-talented.

Tejas and Abinesh were inseparable brothers. They both are strict followers of Brahmin principles and learns from their father several things that helps them lead a better life in future.

With the family reunited, Abinesh is asked about his long close friend Sai Adhithya by Tryambha after which, Tejas asked him, "Yes da. I wished to ask the same question to you. What happened to him? Where is he?"

Abinesh hesitates to reply at the beginning. But, he tells them: "His parents died few months back da. Even his family members too died itseems. He is currently working in Goldman Sachs company." His entire family is shocked and is confronted for not telling them this info before.

"Make him a call da Abi." Tejas said angrily. Even his mother said the same. Abinesh reluctantly makes him a call.

MUMBAI:

8:30 AM:

The call wakes up Sai Adhithya, who was meditating in front of the sun. Seeing Abinesh's call, Adhithya gets up and attends his call.

"Where are you da Adhi?" asked Abinesh and Tejas.

"I am in Mumbai da. Why?"

"Mumbai? Ok. No problem. Can you come back to Coimbatore?" asked Abinesh.

Adhithya thinks for a while and tells, "Ok. I will come back to Coimbatore."

Adhithya takes his parent's photo and comes back to Coimbatore, taking his laptop bag too. Reaching Coimbatore, he had been consoled by Abinesh's family for his parent's death, which makes him so emotional.

While resting, Adhithya recalls his college days.

FEW MONTHS BACK:

Adhithya and Abinesh were riveting college students, having been specialized in various talents. The duo were inseparable close friends along with Tejas. The trio had different plans in their mind. Adhithya wanted to join film and become a director. Abinesh wanted to become a musician and Tejas wishes to become an advocate.

Adhithya have a dark personality inside him. His mother always picks up a quarrels and fights with her husband, who is Adhi's father. This leads to their divorce and Adhithya was in his father's custody. He hates love because of this thing.

During the times, Adhithya's mother realized her mistakes and tries to rekindle her relationship with her husband and son, which succeeds. They plans to go for Pollachi.

At the time, Adhithya had lots of friends in the college and he was close to a few like Ashwin, Rishi Khanna, Aravinth, Yogi and Vishnu. Everything was going fine, until a tragedy shatters his entire family and Adhithya was left orphaned. To forget his painful past, he goes to Bangalore for work, despite been stopped by Abinesh, who wanted to pursue what Adhithya dreams.

PRESENT:

At present, Abinesh informs him about Rishi Khanna's death. And shocked with this, Adhithya asked him: "How did he die da? Who was responsible for that? It's not possible right."

"His father is an Industrialist da. May be his business enemies could have killed him. I doubt." Tejas said. But, Adhithya denies this and tells, "This won't stop with Rishi Khanna's death. The murders would continue. I don't believe in police too da guys. I will myself investigate about this."

The same time, Vikram Vasudev gets the post-mortem report of Rishi and his father. Analyzing it, he is informed: "The murderer have subjected the two to brutal tortures, before burning them alive." They are informed that, "It's a Chinese torture technique."

Meanwhile, Adhithya's friends Ashwin and Aravinth too are kidnapped by the same strangers, when the two were driving to Prozone Mall in Annur roads. The strangers pluck the teeth of the guys and subjects him to brutal tortures.

At that time, when the stranger was about to kill them, they are stopped by someone in the back, who is wearing the same mask and he tells, "Don't kill him immediately da. Let them suffer the pain of death today."

After six hours, the three strangers takes a bunch of leech and one of the stranger chants "Sharma slogan" and tells them, "This is Sharma slogan. The song that we hear before dying. For so many days, you all have committed unforgivable sins right. For that, this leech is going to compensate you." Chanting the slogan, the three pours the leech in the guys and leaves the place.

HOURS LATER, 7:30 AM:

Hours later, Vikram's team finds out his body and one of his associates tells, "Paah...what sir? Like a Egypt statute, their body have shrunken. Boss. Have you ever heard of a death through a leech in any country?"

"Haa. Yes sir. I have seen it in Anniyan movie" said a police constable.

Angered, Vikram tells: "Is this a time for joke? That killer is killing one by one like this. We are left clueless. Who is he? Who the hell is he man?" He shouts.

Meanwhile, Abinesh was practicing a music in his college and at that time, his friend rushes to inform that, "Ashwin and Aravinth were brutally murdered." Abinesh contacts Tejas and asked him, "Hey Tejas. Where is Adhithya da?"

"Abi. He have went to Idukki da."

"Who else have went along with him?" asked Abinesh.

"Abi. Our school friends Raghuram and Harnish have supported his journey da."

As he was wailing in peace, someone suddenly taps him in the shoulder and he turns back in fear. She was a girl, who is pretty gorgeous, cool-looking and beautiful.

"Hey Roshini. You ah? What happened? Where have you went for the past one weeks?"

"I was in Mumbai Abinesh. Busy with my parent's wedding anniversary. Came now only." They talks for a while and afterwards, Roshini asked him: "When can we open up our love to the family Abinesh?"

"Let's wait for a while pa. I am just now getting ready and you know. I am going to get a chance to compose sogns for films." Abinesh said and they hugs out of happiness.

The same time, Tejas have came there and got to learn about their love. He makes this an issue in front of the house. Roshini's family comes from Mumbai and the same time, Adhithya too returns, knowing the issue from Tryambha.

Seeing Adhithya, Roshini's mother becomes surprised and asked him, "Adhithya. You know about her love ah?"

Adhithya in surprise, asked them: "Aunty. You know Abinesh's family?"

Everyone becomes surprised and confused. Tejas asked him, "What's happening here da? You know them already ah?"

"Know them ah? His father was working in SPB Company only da" said Raju, whom Adhithya used to call as Maama.

"How are you da?" asked Brinda, whom he used to call Maami.

"I am fine Maami" said Adhithya. Roshini(26) and Shruthi(Now 23 years) embrace at Adhithya.

Adhithya convinces the family to accept Abinesh, giving him good certifications. He really feels happier that, Adhithya have supported him.

As he still now, have been thinking him as a guy, who won't respect the feelings of others and likes teasing other people. They all attends a grand celebration with the family, accompanied by Raghuram, Harnish, Vishnu and Yogi.

The engagement is postponed as per Abinesh's advice. Once he gets his breakthrough in music, he decides to wed Roshini. During a leisure time, Abinesh asked Adhithya, "Adhithya. Do you have anything that's unforgettable in your life?"

"You know well! An event that still I haven't forgot in my life. That happened in 10th grade. And I suspect may be someone from that event is behind this murder da." Adhithya said.

Abinesh is confused and Adhithya tells, "I have hidden another truth behind this incident to you da buddy."

Adhithya tells him, "When I was in 10th grade public exam leaves, I went to Keerthi's house. There, I used my Instagram account and didn't delete it. As a result of this, he leaked it to our friends. I fought with Harnish and made it an issue. That all knew. But, another truth is there. I found out that, I was the solo reason. Infact, I sent the heart emoji to that girl accidentally. I solved the issue well. But, don't know why my friends are being killed?"

Abinesh and Tejas asked him to think a little more, recalling some incidents in the college. But, he is unable to. Then, the next day, Yogi and Vishnu runs from the strangers, who wore black mask and chases after the two.

They phones Adhithya and messages Raghu to come and save them. Since, they aren't able to run in the roads. The stranger threw a iron in their legs and kidnapped them to a dilapidated building, nearby.

Meanwhile, Sruti suspects Adhithya's activities for long days and conducts a search in his house, during his absence. Since, she wanted to know a lot about him, having fallen in love with him. And is also anger that, he haven't accepted her love.

Searching his house, she is shocked to find out Garuda Literature. She is further shocked to find out a girl's photo in him and meets Roshini immediately along with Abinesh. She reveals the entire mishaps in the house.

"Then means, he have fooled the police and is doing all these murders. Cha! We have blindly believed him!" said Tejas and his family.

When Adhithya, Raghuram and Harnish sees them and goes towards them, Abinesh's family stops them and confronts the trio asking: "Tell me the truth da. Who are there behind these killings? Tell."

Initially hesitant, Adhithya becomes emotional and tells, "We three are behind this killing mother." She is shocked and falls down.

Abinesh looks at him and tells, "My friend won't do like this eh da. How could you turn this cruel da? That too, murdering your own friends?"

That time, Yogi and Vishnu, who have escaped shoots Raghuram and leaves him for dead. They continues to escape from the place.

Hearing these words from Abinesh's family, Raghuram becomes angered and tells, "Stop da. Tell that, we have done murders. But, don't even tell those traitors as his friends. You don't know what's the reason for his family's death before few months back? And he didn't wished to inform you."

FEW MONTHS BACK:

Few months back, when Adhithya was in the college, he didn't intend to talk with girls. Because, he was already felt cheated and disturbed by the acts, done by his college friends. He fell victim to the prank calls. But, Adhithya fell in love with a girl named Yazhini. She is a motherless girl, raised up by her single father, who is working as a renowned College professor in IIT of Madras.

Adhithya and Yazhini spent memorable time together and he even manages to convince her elder sister Rohini, who was stubborn and adamant in Caste system, changing her perspective and ideologies. She realized the importance of love and affection through him.

Everything was going fine, until Adhithya's friends Rishi, Yogi, Vishnu and two more quarreled with him on one fine day, regarding the prank calls and so called issues in Instagram, before few days back.

Unable to control his anger and due to their continuous humiliation, Adhithya purchases a petrol can and pours it in the body of those guys when they were out for a shop. There he lights a matchstick and the guys yelled and shouted, "Don't Adhithya. Don't do anything, please."

As they pleaded, he warns them saying, "I am sparing you just because, you shouldn't intervene further in another people's life through any causes. If done, I won't leave you like this hereafter. Keep it in the mind."

Angered and filled with vengeance, the guys plots to give a painful incident for Adhithya. Henceforth, they decides to gang rape Yazhini.

Plotting this from car, Rishi notices Yazhini going in the scooter. He blocks her in the middle of R.S.Puram roads and affords to give her a lift. Then, they takes her to an abandoned bushes. There, the guys removes her clothes and pours whisky into her mouth.

The four guys brutally gang raped her and threatens to leak the video, if she tries to say this or give a complaint. As a henceforth, she commits suicide along with her father. In the same process, Adhithya's father too died in heart attack unable to bear this shocking events.

His mother kills herself along with the entire family in a fire accident. Having lost everyone, Adhithya vowed to avenge the death of his beloved ones.

PRESENT:

"I trained Adhithya physically as I know Silambam well. Harnish trained him mentally and further teached him computer hacking. Getting trained, I used two of my other school friends and we plotted this murder for one year. We took one by one. You too have a sister da. And you too have a lover. If someone does this to you, will you be quiet da? Or if someone harms your sister, mother or girlfriend, will you all be quiet ah?"

Raghu says this and tells, "Life is full of battles Abinesh. We have to fight against it. Orelse, you can't survive in this world." While telling itself, he vomits blood and faints. He is admitted in the hospitals.

While, Adhithya goes to an underground building of Somanur, where Yogi and Vishnu are hiding. Accompanied by the other two friends of Raghuram, he reaches the place and finds few henchman, supporting Yogi and Vishnu.

They laughs and Vishnu asked him, "What Adhithya? Are you surprised? Did you think that, we are like those stupids?"

"You have thought that, we all raped only your lover. But, you know? We have ruined the life of several woman in our city. That too, from 14 years to 25 year old young girls. Are you seeing our videos?" Yogi asked and showed him, where they all have drugged and gang raped innocent girls in the house of Rishi Khanna.

"Have I brought you all for showroom? Go and fight with him da." Yogi said.

Adhithya's brow tightened. His eyes turned red. He chuckled his teeth. With his face turning pale after reminding off his past, Adhithya takes a nearby Iron rod and brutally hits down the henchman. Using his mini-knife, he stabs down those henchman to death. Angered, the two opens their shirts and tells, "We are not cowards da. We too are trained in sports. Let's see who win today. Come da."

The duo violently fights with Adhithya. They overpowers him brutally and tells, "Come on. Get up. Get up and kill us da."

"You can't la. Then, what justice for your lover's death da. Ha. I heard your friend Abinesh gonna to marry your friend. Shall I rape her too and videotape?" Yogi asked him. Angered, Adhithya hits his nose and steadily gets up. He starts to beat them up severely and they faints.

Tying them up in a chair, he subjects them to brutal Chinese tortures. Taking the Iron rod, he hits their body, abdomen and later on, applies oil all over their body, removing their dresses. Afterwards, using the cable, he brutally beats them up.

"Adhi. Please da. Leave me. We aren't able to bear this pain" said the two.

"Paining ah da. Paining ah?" Adhithya further speeds up the beatings and tells, "When you raped those girls, they too would have cried like this only right. You too came from a mother's womb right. How could you do like this? If problem with me means, you should have clashed with me. But, you harmed her."

Later on, Adhithya takes a plant, that have a thorns and starts to beat them up severely, which extremely wounds their skins.

"Drinking a rat poison is enough for dying instantly da. But, living is very very difficult. That too, by suffering punishment for whole life." He doesn't spare their life and takes back the Iron rod.

Despite their begging to spare, Adhithya tells: "Your's cruel death could be a lesson to other people or rapists, who dare to touch a woman da." He hits them brutally in the chick part and genital. With blood coming out severely, they cry out in extreme pain.

"Adhi. Please save us da." However, Adhithya walks away from the place peacefully and surrenders to Vikram Vasudev, to whom he have informed already.

But, Vikram Vasudev turns down, and instead, he shoots Yogi and Vishnu's respective dead bodies. Coming back, he tells: "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. I have studied it in Physics. But, I didn't study it in real life. Whoever dares to touch a woman, meets the same fate. As I too have a daughter I say this. I think you could give that mask to me."

As he is leaving, Vikram stops him and tells, "For every act that humans do, Karma plays a role. And I wanted to give you something." He gives two books: A Man's search for meaning and Rigveda, telling: "Life is beautifully filled with love, beauty, and joy. These two books, I have never given to anyone. Study these things whenever you find some time in your workspace."

TWO MONTHS LATER:

Two months have gone by. Now, Abinesh is well-settled with his profession as a musician. Adhithya accepted Sruti's love and is back to his work at Goldman Sachs Company. Raghuram is ready to do his first feature film, based on 2019 Pollachi Events. They all are now attending the wedding of Abinesh and Adhithya in Singanallur, Coimbatore.

EPILOGUE:

"Our Technology has grown up. Crimes have increased. We saw new things such as Cybercrimes, E-commerce scams, etc. But still, now, Rape has not ended in our country. It's continuing. Several Nirbhaya and Disha cases are going on, without our knowledge. The valor and strength that God has given us is to protect the woman. Not to rape them. When a woman is harmed, they have to fight or rebel against the one, who tries to harass her. Since, each and every time, a rebel or fighter can't come and save her. They have to wake up bravely."
