- When a jobless graduate flounders around trying to find work, he loses respect from his wife, family and friends. But when he gets involved with a powerful woman in the corporate world, his life turns around and he becomes a powerful man himself.—salmanmahmud947
- The film opens with Raghuvaran (Dhanush) winning the Engineer of the Year Award working for Anitha Constructions and is an executive now with a parking spot. Anitha (Ritu Varma), the firm's owner is a humble person who treats her employees well. His wife Shalini (Amala Paul) becomes an authoritative, nagging wife who controls him. Raghuvaran is also dismissive about his wife getting a job. Raghu lives with his brother Karthik (Hrishikesh), father (Samuthirakani) and late mother Bhuvana (Saranya Ponvannan). Raghu lives next door to his in-laws and hates their constant interference in his married life.
Vasundhara (Kajol), is a arrogant chairman of a big construction company in South India, makes Raghuvaran a job offer, but he refuses. Later Raghu is in a competitive bidding situation with Vasundhara for a large project and bags a 600 Crore project for his company with his humility and better design. Vasundhara is furious. She manipulates a state minister to pressure the company to allocate the project to Vasundhara construction. She offers 50-100 Crore in election funding to persuade the minister to make the phone call. The minister threatens to convert company land into government property to get the company chairman to change his decision.
One by one Vasundhara steals all of Anitha constructions projects by outbidding Anitha by a 30 Crore margin, even taking a loss in many projects. Ramkumar (Anitha's father) (M. J. Shriram) meets Vasundhara personally to discuss why she is bent on destroying their small company. Vasundhara gives him 2 options, to dismiss Raghu or ask him to work for Vasundhara's firm. Ramkumar refuses to fire Raghu, but Raghu decides to resign on his own to save Anitha Constructions.
Vasundhara is furious that Raghu still wont beg for a job with her, despite him being unemployed and being rejected for work everywhere. Anitha encourages Raghu to start his own firm with his other unemployed engineering grads. This was always a life long dream of Raghu. But no bank would fund Raghu. So, Raghu mortgages his own house to start the company and gets help from a businessman, who saw him being awarded for the best engineer.
Raghu and his friends are desperate for their first project. Thats when they get a call from Prakash, who offers their company their first assignment. They don't know that villainous person, Prakash (Saravana Subbaiah), is a greedy businessman who wants to build a theme park in a marshy land. This would mean the project cost would go up 10 times and if in case of heavy rains, this area would be the first to be flooded.
Raghu refuses to do the project, so Prakash assigns the project to Vasundhara and spreads the rumor that Raghu is pissed that the project was assigned to Vasundhara. So, Vasundhara refuses to meet Raghu when he only wants to want her about the inherent risks in the project. To gain attention Raghu sits with his entire company on the construction land and stops Vasundhara from doing any work on the land site.
He also calls in the media and tells his story on how the land is marshy and should not be used for theme park construction. Vasundhara watches this on TV. The social media picks up the story and it goes viral. The PWD minister has to resign and the civil servant who passed the plans is sacked. There are 100's of cases filed against Prakash all over India. Vasundhara construction has a massive loss of reputation and clients start canceling their projects with her. Vasudhara is pissed at Raghu again. She gets Raghu's office ransacked. Raghu & his business partner run short of funds and thus they have to sell 75% of the company to tide over the crisis. Vasundhara buys all the shares and fires Raghu from his own company. But Raghu's entire staff walks out with him, leaving Vasundhara with an empty victory.
Raghu goes to confront Vasundhara in her office, but gets stuck there due to very heavy rains due to which the entire city if flooded and Vasundhara's building's first floor is under water, so Raghu cant go out. Vasundhara and Raghu end up spending the whole night in the office and end up bonding with each other. The next morning Vasundhara decides to return Raghu's company to him and the 2 become friends.
