The hero Kutty (Vijay) returns to Chennai after serving a prison term of seven years in Pune (extra make- up to make him look aged would have been welcome here. He looks so fresh for one who had served a long term) and sings a stanza from his favourite song (it fits badly here because of the blaring sound made by the passengers who soon settle down to hear his story). Kutty longs to become a singer while working in an audio shop run by Mani (Manivannan).
