Devadas "Das" is an outlaw who leads a small gang. Driven by a personal moral code, he often delivers justice to those failed by the legal system. Das turned to a life of crime after killing his maternal uncles for murdering his mother over a family wealth dispute, an act of revenge that caused his father Motor Mani to disown him.
In the present, Devadas's gang robs a police weapons convoy. Around the same time, a corrupt Police Inspector murders a local farmer to steal money meant for his son's education. When the authorities refuse to help the victim's family, they turn to Das. Das confronts and kills the Inspector, promising the farmer's family that he will finance their son's education using the robbery proceeds. In response to the Inspector's death and the arms heist, the police assemble a dedicated task force to capture Devadas's gang.
While hiding at a lodge, Das falls in love with a singer named Parvathy. However, due to a fallout between Das and the lodge owner, he tips off Das's location to the police. A chaotic raid ensues, during which Parvathy is accidentally shot. Despite her innocence, the commanding officer Bhojaraj kills her to avoid getting caught amongst the people who are also shot in a cross-fire. Das gets arrested and is tortured to reveal the whereabouts of his gang, as well as extracting information on the stolen guns. During one such police raid, one of Das's gang members (Sebastian) gets killed and the police find one of the stolen guns in his possession.
The police then decide to kill Das in an encounter, but he escapes custody to seek vengeance. He tracks the lodge owner to a brothel and kills him. He also meets Chandra, an exploited sex worker, and due to her striking resemblance to Parvathy, goes on to help her escape the brothel. She joins the gang and later suggests blackmailing her wealthy former clients to replace the educational funds Das promised the farmer's son, which his gang subsequently lost.
While evading the police, the gang forces a family to shelter them. The husband alerts the authorities, but Das chooses to peacefully surrender to protect the family's young daughter. While Das is being tortured in custody, Chandra organises a violent prison break to rescue him. Following the escape, Chunni Lal, a deceptive ally offers to help Chandra start a new life, prompting her to confess her love for Das. However, Lal discloses their location to the police, resulting in a raid that claims the life of Karuppu, a gang member. Chandra kills Lal in retaliation, reducing the gang to just herself, Das, and a fellow gang member named Kitty.
Seeking revenge against Bhojaraj for Parvathy's death, the trio stages a trap by sending a false report to divert the police task force. Before the ambush, Das arranges a meeting between his estranged father and the farmer's family. He explains his path to outlawry, reconciles with his father, and hands over the promised tuition money to the farmer's family. With his obligations fulfilled, Das, Chandra, and Kitty launch a heavy assault on the pursuing police task force using bombs, rifles and grenades. They successfully eliminate the police task force, including Bhojaraj. After saving an injured Kitty and ensuring that Ashraf, a surviving officer gets medical aid, Das and Chandra drive away together.
