Subhash is an egoistic, but honest newly appointed SI in Chennai. He is sympathetic to the public's suffering and tries to improve their lives, but he hates outlaws and arrogant people. These efforts sometimes conflict with the law and cause Subhash trouble with his superior Inspector Muthukaruppan. One day, during a night patrol, Subhash argues with the Chief Minister's son, when he refuses to park his car at the checking place, and the Chief Minister's son shows his arrogance before trying to attack Subash. SI Chandran, Subash's supporter, intervenes in the argument and apologises to Chief Minister's son on Subash's behalf, which enrages Subhash. As a consequence, Subash assaults the Chief Minister's son and his friends at a bar, without leaving any evidence.
Called to investigate a girl's suspected suicide, Subhash deduces that she was murdered and gathers evidence. He confronts Abhijith, a boy whose mobile phone was active near the crime scene, and the boy's friends Christy, Bhuvan, and Deepak. The boys reveal that they are spoilt brats from affluent families and they had committed the murder of several other girls, avoiding the consequences due to their parents' privilege. Abhijith is the son of a prominent media mogul Sanjay, while Bhuvan is the son of District Collector of Chennai city. Christy is the son of a gold merchant, and a Deepak is the son of a scientist. The boys show Subhash a video of them assaulting the girl, and he becomes enraged and arrests them.
Corrupt JCP Saarangan asks Subhash for proof of the crimes but the videos have been deleted and the boys are released while Subhash is suspended from duty. The boys vow revenge, and Subhash returns home to discover his extended family has been murdered, except for one niece. Saarangan, who has been bribed with a Porsche Cayenne Car, declares that the deaths resulted from an accidental fire. Subhash resigns, defiantly telling Saarangan that he will avenge his family by ensuring that the four boys die at the hands of their fathers. Bhuvan is kidnapped by Subhash and locked in a car booby trapped with inflammable silane gas. His father opens the car door and witnesses Bhuvan burn alive in front of him.
Subhash then kidnaps Deepak and Christy and hides them. The corrupt police try to secretly detain Subash, but he triggers Muthukaruppan's pistol which attracts public attention and forces them to officially arrest him. While in custody, Subhash reveals to Christy's father that Christy is in a van at the airport. The father finds Christy and tells him to run to the police for help, but Subhash had placed an illegal firearm in Christy's bag along with a beeping device. The National Security Guards mistake Christy for a terrorist and fatally shoot him to death. With technical help from Subhash's friend, Deepak's crimes are exposed on the Internet and a live video feed shows him inside a glass tank.
The public is allowed to remotely release chemicals which will result in Deepak's death. Deepak's father hires hackers to stop this. Deepak is located and when his father breaks open the glass to release him, the chemicals are combined and Deepak is killed. In the meantime, Subhash warns Saarangan to check on his teenage daughter's safety. Saarangan panics but is relieved when she is found to be safe. Saarangan realises his hypocrisy and decides to support Subhash to fight for justice for the victims of the boys. Abhijit's father Sanjay has Subhash released from custody, intending to make a deal.
Subhash kidnaps Abhijit and dangles him from a rope at a great height; he threatens to publicise the recovered video evidence of the boys' crimes, thereby ruining Sanjay and his reputation. Sanjay is given a chance to prevent this by shutting down a computer, but would have to let go of the rope. Sanjay does so, letting his son fall to his death to preserve his reputation. One year later, Subhash has become an IPS officer, and continues to murder unconvictable lawbreakers to serve justice.

Adanga Maru is strictly a one-time watch."[12]

Subhash is a sincere, determined, new police sub-inspector in Chennai. He resides with his parents and his brother's family and is set to marry his fiance Anitha. New to his job, he is assisted by Constable Ramadass and SI Chandran. Subhash cannot stand the public's suffering and looks for ways to improve their lives, which often lands him in trouble with his superior, Inspector Muthukaruppan.
One day, Chandran and Subhash are called on to investigate a girl's suspected suicide. On closer investigation, Subhash deduces that she was murdered. While collecting evidence to support this, he comes across Abhijit, whose mobile phone number was active near the scene of the crime. On confronting Abhijit and his friends - Christy, Bhuvanesh, and Deepak - they reveal that they are bad boys from politically influential families. Abhijit is the son of a well-known businessman; Bhuvan is the son of the District Collector of Tamil Nadu; Christy is the son of a gold merchant, and Deepak is the son of a well-known scientist.
The boys show Subhash a video of them doing drugs and murdering the girl and many other women. Enraged, Subhash thrashes and locks them in jail. When his superior, a corrupt Joint Commissioner, Saarangan IPS, asks for the proof behind his accusations, he finds out that all the video files were deleted before he unlocked the phone. The four were released due to lack of evidence and the political influence of their parents, and Subhash was suspended. Abhijit and his friends vow revenge, and soon enough, when Subhash goes home, he finds his parents and brother's family dead. Only one of his nieces, Anusha, is left alive. Meanwhile, Saarangan is bribed with an expensive and luxurious Porsche Cayenne SUV car and reports the murder of Subhash's family as a new house fire accident. Discouraged at his powerlessness even though he is a police officer, Subhash resigns and threatens Saarangan that he will avenge his family's death and will make sure that the four guys die in the hands of their fathers.
First, he kidnaps Bhuvan and locks him in a car filled with silane gas so that if anyone tries to open it, it will catch on fire. Bhuvan's father accidentally opens the car door while searching for his son, and Bhuvan is burned alive in front of his father. Next, Subhash kidnaps Deepak and Christy and keeps them at undisclosed locations. The police try to arrest Subhash at gunpoint unofficially, but he triggers Muthukaruppan's pistol on purpose, resulting in his arrest and unwanted public attention.
Subhash then reveals to all of them that he kept Christy in a van, and asks him to go to the airport, but Christy's father double-crosses Subhash and asks him to run for help, thinking that Christy is safe when the police and the public are nearby. Before Christy can do so, an autoloaded gun in his bag starts beeping. Christy, assumed to be a terrorist, is brutally shot and killed by the National Security Guards (NSG) force to safeguard the public. After this, Deepak is found to be locked in a glass tank connected to silane gas and sulfuric acid. Subhash and his tech friend expose him as a killer to the public via online gaming link. The public can virtually shoot at Deepak to release the chemicals into the tank and eventually kill him. His father hires hackers to stop this, and when Deepak's location is found, he goes there and breaks open the tank to release him, but the chemicals instantly blow up, and he is killed. Meanwhile, Subhash also threatens Saarangan to check on his teenage daughter's safety. Saarangan panics but is relieved when she is found to be safe. Saarangan realises his mistake and decides to support Subhash to fight for justice for the victims.
Now that only Abhijit is left, his father Sanjay decides to release Subhash from custody and deal with him alone. Subhash tactfully kidnaps Abhijit and has him hanging on a rope. He also threatens to upload the video evidence online and expose their crimes, thereby bringing Sanjay's business empire down. He gives Sanjay a request to either hold on to the rope and save the son or let go and shut down the laptop instead to protect his reputation. In the end, Sanjay, who is helpless, decides to save his reputation by letting go of the rope and killing his son. One year later, Subhash becomes a peace-loving IPS officer who murders criminals out of record to serve justice.
