Hired by a businessman named Ramaro to clamp down on a pair of his thieving relatives (Muthuraman and Manorama), a new manager incurs their ire — and then angers his boss by cheating on his daughter.

In this superhit masala from the power duo of S. P. Muthuraman and Rajinikanth, the latter thrills in a double role that screams swagger as well as hilarity. The luminous presence of Sridevi is especially appealing as her screwball chemistry with Rajinikanth softens the film’s masculine rowdyism.
