The film is about an ordinary young Tamil-postgraduate, who becomes a tortured victim of Chennai city's gentrification, fueled by the booming IT industry, slowly losing his mental balance and becoming a psychopath. According to Ram, the movie explores what might become of a society, that undervalues the education and practice of arts and humanities. The film, though commercially not successful during its release, but over the years it has become a cult film.
