[edit] Summary
The film is basically narrated in a non-linear fashion, with the use of multiple flashbacks. In the opening scene, a dreaded underworld don is brutally hacked to death by an unknown assailant. The police arrive at the crime scene and arrest the murderer. The murder is releaved to be the handiwork of a novice, Parattai alias Azhagu Sundaram (Dhanush), who works in a roadside tea stall.
In the meantime, the news about the murder reaches the echelons of the underworld. A rival gang of the slain don bails out Azhagu from the lock-up and requests him to be their leader. Azhagu rejects their offer and goes back to his tea stall. An inquisitive trainee journalist (Meera Jasmine) is eager to know about Azhagu and requests an appointment from him. Despite trailing Azhagu for several days, she is unable to interview him. Subsequently, the reporter meets an old woman (Archana) from a remote village, who has come in search of her lost son. After listening to her story, the reporter assures the woman that she will track out her son.
In the flashback, it is revealed that the old lady's son is none other than Azhagu. Azhagu originally hailed from a village called as Singanallur and lived with his father and mother. His father earned his living as a Parattai - a wandering minstrel, who went from one household to another and collected alms. Due to the strenuous workload, he falls ill and dies. Enticed by his childhood friend, who flaunts his success, Azhagu decides to try his luck in the city. However, in the city, he gets tangled with anti-social elements and ends up in jail. His anxious mother comes to the city in search of him.
