+Topical film referring, in part, to notorious reallife
+sandalwood smuggler Veerappan,
+operating on the Karnataka-Tamil Nadu border,
+who hit the news following a series of violent
+encounters with the police in the early 90s.
+Like crime journalism dramatising the
+confrontations between the good and bad
+while retaining a veneer of support for the
+legal system, the film is formally dedicated to
+the police who lost their lives in their efforts to
+capture Veerappan. However, it begins with a
+scene in which Veerappan (Devaraj) discusses
+and gives his approval to the production. A
+priest then explains Veerappan’s life as being a
+consequence of his impoverished childhood.
+This leads to the next character, Nayakan
+(Lokesh), formerly Veerappan’s employer, but
+now his enemy, who points to the latter’s
+Robin Hood-type inclinations. Veerappan’s
+revenge for the rape of his sister and his
+encounters with the police then follow. The
+film ends with a pair of brave police officers
+setting out to get him, but he eludes them.
