Pudhupettai

The movie is about the rites of passages in the life and times of an everyday-man who ends up as a dreaded gangster. Kokki Kumar (Dhanush), the traumatized youth runs away from his home as his dad kills his mother. He ends up in the big bad world of a city on the move. The city accepts him through the arms of a local politico (Azhagarperumal). The gang under him is into all sort of dark deeds ---drugs, women, murder. Kumar runs into Krishnaveni (Sneha), a conscientious sex worker. As it happens, he falls for her charm, and goes to the extent of killing his own boss in a murderous tiff. So Kumar becomes the ganglord. And now it is all rise for him. The denouement is interesting as it has some interesting twists.
