Pandiyan aka "Pondy Pandi" (Vijay Sethupathi) is the son of a Puducherry-based police inspector P. Meena Kumari (Raadhika Sarathkumar). Despite being a police inspector's son, he grew up being friendly with the criminals behind bars and on reaching adulthood, unknown to his mother, he becomes a rowdy, though an incompetent one.

Pandi comes across a deaf girl Kadhambari (Nayantara) and immediately falls in love with her. Kadhambari is the daughter of a sincere police officer Ravikumar (Azhagam Perumal), who is in pursuit of Killivallavan aka Killi (Parthiban), a dreaded gangster and politician who had killed Ravikumar's wife and had caused Kadhambari to lose her hearing in her childhood. Kadhambari seeks Pandi's help in finding her father, who has not spoken to her for the past two days, to which he agrees. Pandi soon learns that Ravikumar had been killed by Killi, but hides the matter from Kadhambari as it would make her upset. But Kadhambari learns about about her father's death from Meena Kumari and is determined to avenge his death by going after Killi and killing him. Pandi agrees to help her in her mission, with the promise that "he will hold Killi's shoulders while she stabs him".
