Velan, a tribal hunter, lives in a forest, and highlights his tragic love story with Valli. Police inspector Prasad battles bravely to capture a criminal gang that is responsible for making adulterated medicines that cause the death of many children, but he is instructed by corrupt politicians to set them free without any punishment. Vexed with the rampant corruption in the Indian system, Prasad goes to his girlfriend Lalitha's house, and learns about Velan and Valli from the forests of Thaalla Malai. Velan is a talented hunter. The touching narration follows the love story of Velan and Valli, delving into the culture and tradition of the tribal communities living in the forests and the challenges they face in a rapidly changing society.

Jayamanmadhan ofKalki wrote that if viewers see why the director did not involve them along with the film, it is because the screenplay needs a lot of tonic and nutrition.[4] Balumani ofAnna praised the acting of cast but felt none of the songs are noteworthy and many scenes in latter part of the film is plagiarised from American films. He also stated Rajasekhar seems to have directed a film for namesake while actors performed for the namesake.[5]
