Synopsis

Madhuravel (Vijay) works as a vegetable vendor with his friend Pandu (Vadivelu). He is a do-gooder and protector of the family of Kamatchi (Seetha) and her two daughters. Madurey eradicates loan sharks and fights "bad guys" in the market. Meanwhile, Anitha (Rakshitha) has a liking towards Madhurey and manages to win him over from Maheshwari (Tejashree). Now Kamakshi's eldest daughter Susheela (Sonia Agarwal), who was working with Madurey, was killed. Kamatchi blames it on Madurey and shoots him. Pandu opens the story of Madurey being the district collector of Madurai. He is the action-packed bureaucrat who takes to the streets to solve the citizens' problems. He does the job of policing and is up against criminals. He does not believe in IPS and police force to clean up the city. So one such clean up operation takes him to KTR (Pasupathy), a don who is running a parallel law enforcement system with his own court. He doles out justice to all and is God to the ordinary. Madurey does not take lightly to this parallel outfit. A clash takes place, and Susheela, then PA to Madurey, is killed. KTR puts the blame on Madurey. Now, Madurey goes undercover to surface as a vegetable vendor because his aim is to pin down KTR. From now onwards, it is Madurey on a rampage until KTR is finished and the murder charge is removed.
