The film released on 4 July 2005. The story follows Malayali Bhuvana Chandran (Dileep), an unsuccessful entrepreneur in a lot of debt, who gets involved in a land conflict between two powerful landlords in Tamil Nadu: Pandi Durai (Prakash Raj) and Karuppayya Swami (Rajan P. Dev).

Plot

Pandippada is the story of a rivalry between Pandi Durai (Prakash Raj) and his brother-in-law Karuppayya Swami (Rajan P. Dev), who are landlords that brutally rule villages. Bhuvanachandran (Dileep) is a young, unsuccessful entrepreneur who gets a piece of land in the same village. He has a lot of debts and in order to clear that, he has to sell this land. However, Pandi and Karuppayya will not allow him to sell the land.

Bhuvanan comes to this village to check the possibilities of selling the land. Then he sees his best friend Bhasi (Harisree Ashokan) who lived there and asks for his help. Bhasi takes him to Pandi, whose gang he was a member of, and Bhuvanan joins Pandi's group. Later, he falls in love with Meena (Navya Nair), who is the daughter of Karuppayya.[4]


However, Pandi also wants to marry Meena, and this makes Pandi and Bhuvanan as enemies. Pandi wants to kill Bhuvanan. Karuppayya fixes the marriage of Meena and Bhuvanan. Pandi also fixes his marriage with Meena on the same date. In the fight that follows, Bhuvanan beats up Pandi and finally gives a gun to him and asks him to shoot him if he cannot see him as a brother. Pandi realises his mistakes and forgives them both and attends their marriage.
