and arrange her marriage with great pomp and ceremony. A flashback sequence reveals
that the duo were police trainees. Veeru had fallen in love with their commandant's

marriage. However, a terrorist kills her along with some family members of other
police officers as a revenge for his men. Veeru avenges her death, while Dheeru
prevents police force for intervening. They are imprisoned for some time for taking
