Plot
Rocket Raja (Karthi) is a small-time thief who steals anything he comes across. With his partner Kaatupoochi (Santhanam) he enjoys life to its fullest and even falls for the beautiful Swetha (Tamannaah). However, his life changes when a small girl Divya Rathnavel (Baby Rakshana)ends up in his care; he looks exactly like her father Rathnavel Pandian APPS (Karthi). As Raja discovers the girl's past, it is revealed that Rathnavel Pandian is an honest policeman who is a nightmare to criminals, but that one gang of criminals in the village of Devipattinam are intent on killing him and his daughter because he killed the son of a prominent criminal, who also sexually abused women. Rathnavel Pandian's colleagues put Divya in Rocket Raja's care so that the criminals cannot track her. Rathnavel Pandian is on the verge of death following a gunshot to his head. At first Raja is angry with the little girl and breaks her tape recorder. Divya is happy and hugs him, after he repairs it. Rathnavel Pandian is intent on fighting back. Unfortunately, he dies following a battle with several criminals who had been chasing Raja and Divya. Upon seeing his courage, Rocket Raja (with the help of Rathnavel Pandian’s colleagues) steps into Rathnavel Pandian's shoes and finishes his unfinished work. He also takes on the responsibility of taking care of Divya, with the help of Swetha.

Good Movie. however it would be more nice if Anushka Shetty would have given the lead actress role instead of Tamanna.
