ACP Vikram IPS is an honest cop who lives in Chennai with his parents, elder sister, and brother-in-law. His family sets up an arranged marriage for him with Mahalakshmi. He works with a team of police officers, Inspectors Sathya, Akshara, and Prasad, who is also Vikram's best friend. One day, Vikram is tasked with tracking Aadhithya Maravarman, a monarch's son and crooked thief, who mysteriously became rich by robbing jewellery pieces and banks. Adithya is a suave and charismatic playboy who is also involved in the drug trading and pimping business. Aadhithya gets his hands on an ancient manuscript, which enables him to access astral projection by looking straight at people's eyes, and Vikram's father is one of his victims, as the latter is blamed for the theft. Vikram swears to catch Aadhithya. He pretends to be friendly and slowly get close to Aadhithya. He manages to get Aadhithya drunk and arrests him.
Later, while interrogating him, Prasad is suddenly killed by Sathya, whose body is now occupied by Aadhithya. When Vikram goes to shoot Aadhithya out of anger, Aadhithya enters Vikram's body and begins impersonating him while Vikram is unconscious. Aadhithya, now in Vikram's body, masks the killing of Prasad by saying that Sathya and he had a personal vengeance. After coming to Vikram's home, Aadhithya comes across Maha who takes him by driving the car. He lusts for her sexy structure, and even pinches her hip in the saree, and she is initially mad, but later she does not doubt him, thinking he is being playful. Later at home, he again kisses her midriff in saree. She just brushes it off as he is being romantic after marriage. Soon, he forgets about her to focus on his revenge on Vikram. Meanwhile, Vikram, trapped in Aadhithya's body, is surprised to find himself imprisoned and gets a visit from Aadhithya, who mocks him, and tells him about his plan to make Vikram lose his job and take over his life. Vikram swears to get Aadhithya punished as planned, while the latter dismisses him, thinking he is no threat.
Afterwards, Vikram convinces Sathya that he is not Aadhithya and escapes prison. After escaping, Vikram calls his superior officer, Commissioner Rajkumar, and informs him about the mishaps of events. Aadhithya overhears their conversation and kills Rajkumar. Aadhithya later kills Akshara when Sathya reveals to her about Aadhithya. Aadhithya also reveals that he has a confession video which shows that Vikram blamed Aadhithya for his father's mistake. At the same time, Aadhithya goes over Vikram's biodata and takes the video evidence of his father, who Aadhithya had initially impersonated, to rob a bank. He threatens to reveal it to the public. Vikram contacts Professor Chezhiyan, Aadhithya's head in archaeology, where he shows him the manuscript, which gives Vikram the same power as Aadhithya. Chezhiyan thinks that he is being cheated and goes to Aadhithya. Aadhithya reveals himself in Vikram's body and makes Chezhiyan his bait to catch Vikram while in the complex where Vikram was supposed to meet Chezhiyan.
When Aadhithya tracks Chezhiyan, Vikram hides and talks to Chezhiyan, who says that Aadhithya's power is only in his body, in which Vikram is, while, in other bodies, his power does not work. Hence, Vikram uses Chezhiyan to recover the manuscript from the Commissioner's office. Aadhithya later kills Chezhiyan. Vikram puts a bomb on himself so that Aadhithya may get scared that if his body goes away, he will not be able to use his powers further. Vikram and Aadhithya switch over to their original bodies after Vikram threatens to harm Aadithya's body, and Aadhithya pleads with Vikram to diffuse his bomb. Vikram, who has double-crossed Aadhithya, knocks him out, and while taking him to get him arrested, Aadhithya switches his soul to Vikram's father, Arumugam, and thrashes Vikram. He then switches to Mahalakshmi's body, stabs him, and threatens to kill her if he does not defuse his bomb. Vikram heeds to Aadithya and defuses the bomb. As Vikram had double-crossed and betrayed him, Aadhithya drove off with the unconscious Mahalakshmi. Vikram chases them and ends up on the coast.
A weakened Vikram fights Aadhithya, who quickly recovers and fights Vikram. Vikram snaps back and brutally beats up Aadhithya. Vikram fractures Aadhithya's left hand, snaps his neck, seemingly killing him and returns home with Mahalakshmi. In the end, to everyone's horror, Aadhithya is shown to have survived and glares into the screen, paving the way to the sequel.
