Plot
A car drives through a forest. A professor and a young girl exit the vehicle, and the man takes her to an abandoned house. He requests that the girl remove her clothes so he can have sex with her. However, the girl begs to leave. Bheemarasu arrives; he beats up the man, kills him by smashing his head with a boulder, and impales him.
Major Arulvarman is a retired major living in Salem. He posts crime investigations on YouTube. Bheemarasu requests a woman to eat at her house, claiming he is a vagabond. She says I will call you and serve a feast next Ammavasai. Varma's friend Guna gets a call that Varma's niece Ramya has hanged herself and gets upset.
Bheemarasu meets with the assistant of a philanthropist, Dr MR Nagarajan, to get a job, and he tells Bheemarasu to visit his house. Varma looks at Ramya's phone and WhatsApp messages and suspects a conspiracy that Ramya worked as a prostitute. She received a threatening voice message from someone. Bheemarasu visits the assistant's house and helps with cleaning. Bheemarasu helps solve a problem for his daughter, and Nagarajan's assistant thanks him. Varma queries two men, which leads him to a lady named Swetha, who introduces Ramya to the online prostitution business. Bheemarasu meets with a lady called Sundari to organise a young female escort, but she insults him. Bheemarasu laments to Shivalingam, and the woman organises a feast for Bheemarasu.
Swetha reveals that Ramya befriended a guy. The boy's greed coerced her into virtual prostitution. Ramya tried to leave the process, but they threatened to leak a video. It left her no choice but to hang herself. After eating in the woman's home, Bheemarasu locks the door and beats her watchman spouse. He then uses a wooden log to kill him and steals his chain. Bheemarasu pays 20,000 to Sundari, and she tells him to meet her at her house after he says he will reveal Sundari's pimp background to the police. Sundari organises a young escort, but eventually, Bheemarasu hangs Sundari upside down and slits her throat.
Varma fails to convince his brother to file an FIR since they do not want to be ashamed that their daughter is a whore. In response to the death of their child, Varma searches for a father. Varma discovers Bheemarasu, who seeks justice for his daughter's mysterious death. Varma and Bheemarasu both go on a bus trip without knowing each other. Varma visits Bheemarasu's house, where he inquires with Bheemarasu's father about Bheemarasu's daughter, Divya, who narrates a flashback.
Past: Two years ago, Rajasekar, alias Bheemarasu, lived happily with his father and daughter in Thiyagavalli village, Cuddalore. Bheemarasu becomes pleased after Divya graduates. Two months after Divya's graduation, she travels to Perambalur to study for her Master's degree. Eighteen months later, a guy named Kathir, Divya's classmate, goes to Bheemarasu's house. Divya says Kathir likes her and wants to marry her. One day, Divya comes home crying and explains what happened to her father. The watchman, Mani, takes her gold chain after he shows Divya an intimate video of Kathir and Divya kissing. A professor named Chakravathy sexually assaults her later, and the hostel warden, Sundari, threatens to leak the video if she does not obey her. However, before her final exams, Bheemarasu discovers that his daughter has committed suicide by consuming poison.
Present: Varma questions the lawyer and police inspector and finds that someone murdered the three people. All murders link to the way King Bhima murdered three demons in Mahabharatha. He meets with Kathir, who tells him that Divya's father was the murderer, and the college correspondent forced her to have sex with him to avoid her dismissal and the video leakage. She records a video of him and shows it to Beemarasu.
Arulvarman released the video online. It sparks outrage among the students, and Varma gets thirty days to retrieve evidence from the court judge. In Pondicherry, Nagarajan arrives. Later Beemarasu hits his goons. He reveals his background to Nagarajan, stabs him repeatedly, and shoots him. Varma meets Beemarasu and admires him. Beemarasu says parents should know about their children's phone activity, and Varma explains this through a video.
