Plot
Burma (Arya) is the son of a driver (Nassar) in a rich man Gurupadom’s (Napoleon) house. Gurupadom is Burma’s role model and his dream is to be like him. But soon his father is framed by Ayra alias Ayravadham (Kadhal Dandapani) the right-hand man of Gurupadom, and unable to bear the humiliation, he commits suicide. Burma grows up in the mean streets to be a gun dealer and waits for an opportunity to enter Gurupadom’s house and take revenge.
Soon he wins over Gurupadom and his only daughter Sangeetha (Kirat Bhattal). But Ayra and Veeravel, Gurupadom’s elder son are tooth and nail opposed to him and fear that he will take over their empire. However, Burma uses tact and cunningness to overcome their resentment and wins over Gurupadom’s trust. Slowly, he starts to understand the machinations of the power play in the underworld. He uses Gurupadom’s bitter foe A. K. Swamy (Avinash) to his advantage and causes havoc which leads to a gripping climax.
