Siva says that her father would get convinced if their love is true. However, her dream falls apart when Siva stops the wedding and asks her to take him to her father. Knowing her father's nature, Venba decides to elope with Siva and marry him in the presence of her friends. Next, Venba (Meenakshi Govindharajan), Rathnasamy's daughter falls head-over-heels in love with Siva (Jai), who claims to be an orphan and an artiste by profession. The loss of lives in both their families has caused unrest among the two groups for years and both men are out for blood despite intervention by many officials. In the very first scene, we are introduced to Rathnasamy (Sharath Logidas) and Chelladurai (Jayaprakash), the heads of two rival groups in Veerapandiyapuram, who are waiting for a chance to seek revenge on each other.

However as the film progresses, the plot faces multiple deviations and it becomes tough for us to empathise with the lead characters. The set-up of the film preps us up for an engaging drama filled with revenge and regret. In his latest outing with Jai, Veerapandiyapuram, the director has all the necessary elements and twists for a decent rural action drama, but falters in getting the mix right. Sometimes his plan works out and sometimes it doesn't. He comes up with a surprise action thriller after giving a hit commercial entertainer in quick succession. Susienthiran is one director who doesn't confine himself to any particular genre.
