| 15 | A film blaming professional politicians for |
| 16 | exploiting their well-meaning and dedicated |
| 17 | party activists and officials. A party activist from |
| 18 | the slums, Dharman (Babu), uncritically |
| 19 | devoted to his leader, shelters a young girl, |
| 20 | Chittu (Roma) who was jilted by her lover |
| 21 | Thennavan (Ramesh). The two fall in love and, |
| 22 | come election time, Dharman is assigned to |
| 23 | work for the area’s party candidate |
| 24 | Ponnambalam (Ranjan). In a bid to win the |
| 25 | voters’ sympathy, the party boss and |
| 26 | Ponnambalam have Dharman assassinated, |
| 27 | blaming the murder on their political |
| 28 | opponents. The ruse is successful and after the |
| 29 | elections have been won, the party boss stages |
| 30 | an elaborate public tribute to the faithful |
| 31 | Dharman. The strident, fake-documentary |
| 32 | effects further emphasise the film’s |
| 33 | commentary on contemporary Tamil politics. |
