A couple (Saranya Ponvannan and Charan Raj) travel in a train to Chennai along with their twin babies. During the journey, a robber in the train kidnaps one of the babies and gets down from the train. He steals the jewels and leaves the baby in a garden and runs away. Saranya and Charan Raj lodge a complaint with the police. The kidnapped baby is found by Nassar and Ambika and they adopt and raise the baby as theirs.
27 years pass by, Vasudevan aka Vasu (Suriya) works for a private detective agency in Chennai and lives with his parents Saranya and Charan Raj, while the kidnapped baby is grown into Vetrivel aka Vel (also Suriya) in a village named Chokkampatti near Dindigul. Vel’s family is widely respected in their village for their good deeds and is also responsible for protecting the villagers from the local politician and goon Sakkarapandi (Kalabhavan Mani). Sakkarapandi killed Vel’s parents years ago and wants to revenge by killing other members in the family also. But Vel takes the responsibility of protecting his family members. Meanwhile, Saranya and Charan Raj keep worrying for years about the fate of the lost child.
