Anand wears a borrowed superhero costume and introduce himself as Mugamoodi to Shakthi, where he tries to impress the children with his skills and accidentally ends up in the middle of a police chase. Anand helps the police capture one of the bandits, but the gang shoots the captured member dead when they are transferring him. The news which Mugamoodi captured one of the suspects, which police could not catch them in many months, spreads across the city and makes Shakthi begin to like Mugamoodi. Gaurav finds a match between a fingerprint from the crime scene and one from police records.

Anand decides to visit Shakthi again unmasked to reveal his identity and confess his love to her. While arriving to meet Shakthi, Anand encounters a gang member, who shoots Gaurav. Anand tries to seize him, but the gunman escapes after the gun is seized by Anand and the family believe Anand shot Gaurav. Anand is being chased by the police and is on the run. The gang kills Anand's friend Viji, who went with him to visit Shakthi. Anand is again seen by police alone with a dead body and is naturally thought responsible for the killing.

Gaurav survives and the gang decides to kill him and his family in the hospital. Anand (masked himself as Mugamoodi) saves them by defeating the gang and takes Gaurav's police documents containing the latest findings of the case, including the fingerprint match, as he wants to avenge Viji's death. To Anand's shock, The police findings in the documents are against his martial arts teacher Sifu Chandru. Chandru reveals that he is not connected to those cases and reveals that Anguchamy alias Dragon is behind the crimes. Chandru and Dragon learnt kung-fu in the same school 22 years ago.

Meanwhile, Dragon also learns that Mugamoodi is Anand, where he and his gang raids Chandru's school to kill Anand, but they kill Chandru when he is nowhere to be seen. The gang seizes a port and kidnaps 30 children, along with three adults including Shakthi, as hostages to blackmail the police. They demand the police to arrange a ship which guarantees their safety across the Indian border, while they also demand Mugamoodi to drive a van of gold alone. The gang threaten to kill the hostages if their demands are refused. Mugamoodi agrees to drive the gold, where a fight ensues between him and Dragon.

During the fight, Dragon takes off Mugamoodi's mask and reveals his identity to Shakthi. Dragon also confesses that his brother Anthony had shot Gourav earlier. With the help of his grandfather and friends that had him sneaked into the port, Anand kills some key members of the gang. A fight ensues between Anand and Dragon, where Dragon falls to his death in the sea. Anand manages to release all the hostages and Shakthi tells him to continue his service as Mugamoodi.
