The film revolves around a daredevil cop who, on behalf of his ailing father and the ambition of a lieutenant general, returns to college inOoty. Whilst protecting the general's daughter, he attempts to reconcile with his stepbrother from his father's marriage. Furthermore, he has to ward off the international criminal John Chinnappa, who is trying to kill the general, an ex-aide of his who has turned police approver. How the cop manages to solve all three problems forms the crux of the story.
The film opened to Indian audiences on 25 October 2008, coinciding with the Diwali season. The film, upon release received average reviews at the South Indian box office. However it was an average grosser mainly due to the release of the Vaaranam Aayiram. Aegan, which featured music from Yuvan Shankar Raja, is remade drawing inspirations from the 1986 Hollywood venture, Back to School as well as the 2004 Bollywood film, Main Hoon Na.
