            Ramanujam Iyengar alias Ambi is an orthodox Brahmin and a straightforward consumer protection advocate living in Triplicane, Chennai. He expects everyone to follow the law and prosecutes those who violate it. However, his efforts fail as circumstantial evidence always seems to favor the accused. He also fails to raise civic awareness due to pervasive corruption and a general lack of seriousness. Frustrated at his inability to bring about a change in society, his suppressed anger manifests itself in an alter-ego named Anniyan, a grim reaper-themed serial killer who punishes corrupt and indifferent people. Anniyan creates a website, compiles a list of wrongdoers from his site, and kills them using punishments described in the Garuda Puranam, one of the ancient Hindu scriptures.Ambi is secretly in love with his neighbor Nandini, an aspiring carnatic singer, but never expresses his love due to his fear of rejection. When he proposes to her during the annual Tyagaraja Aradhana at Thiruvaiyaru, she rejects him as she cannot bear his strict adherence to rules. Distraught, Ambi attempts suicide, almost drowning himself before having second thoughts. Subsequently, he develops another personality named Remo, a fashion model. Nandini is smitten by Remo and falls in love with him. Their marriage is eventually fixed.While purchasing a plot of land for her dowry, Nandini decides to undervalue the property to evade stamp duty. Ambi, who accompanies her as she registered the property, refuses to help her. Later, when Nandini and Remo are on a date, Remo transforms into Anniyan and attempts to punish her for her corrupt act. As he is about to kill her, Nandini calls out for Ambi. Anniyan then reverts to Ambi, who collapses and loses consciousness. Nandini takes Ambi to NIMHANS where he is diagnosed with multiple personality disorder. Through recovered-memory therapy, Vijaykumar, the chief psychiatrist of the hospital uncovers Ambi's past. It is revealed that, when Ambi was fourteen years old, he witnessed the accidental death of his younger sister Vidya due to civic apathy. The incident left a deep emotional scar, which is the reason for his lofty ideals. It is also discovered that while Anniyan and Remo are aware of Ambi as a separate person, Ambi is oblivious to their existence within him. Vijaykumar declares that Remo will cease to exist if Nandini accepts Ambi's love, but Anniyan will cease to exist only when the society reforms. Nandini accepts Ambi's love and Remo disappears.Meanwhile, DCP Prabhakar and Sub-inspector Chari, who is Ambi's friend, investigate the murders committed by Anniyan. In disguises, they discover clues left behind by Anniyan, which are the names of the punishments he meted out to his victims. Prabhakar is determined to bring Anniyan to justice as one of Anniyan's victims, Chockalingam, an errant catering contractor with the Indian Railways, was his elder brother. In a dramatic publicity stunt, Anniyan admits to the murders he committed when he appears amidst the public and the press at the Nehru Stadium. He explains the rationale behind them and says that only when every Indian is responsible and sincere will the country prosper on a par with developed nations. His methods draw both praise and criticism. Prabhakar tries to catch Anniyan, but he escapes.On investigating the recorded footage, Prabhakar discovers that Anniyan is Ambi and arrests him. Ambi is brutally interrogated and almost killed, triggering Anniyan's reappearance. Ambi's personality alternates between Ambi and Anniyan, resulting in ambiguity. He subdues Prabhakar as Anniyan, but begs for mercy as Ambi. Using CCTV, Chari secretly records the interrogation and uses it as evidence of Ambi's condition during his trial. Ambi is sentenced to psychotherapy in a mental hospital and will be eligible for release when cured.When Ambi is released two years later, his rigid adherence to protocol has diminished. He marries Nandini. While travelling on a train during their honeymoon, he notices a man (an electrician who was indirectly responsible for his sister's death several years ago) drinking amidst fellow passengers. Suffering a relapse, he transforms into Anniyan and throws the man off the train, killing him. However, he hides the incident from Nandini, indicating that he has successfully blended his personalities into one instead of eradicating them.

Singam states that in order to fully finish the drug trade they must find the leading suppliers. He has also requested that Ramnathan transfers his friends Ezhruamali and Dhamodarai to help him.The next day, Sathya quits the school hoping that she can have a chance with Singam that way.

Thangaraj plans ahead and invites Singam's superiors to keep them off the case. Ezhrumalai tracks Saghayam's whereabouts and finds that he's made a trip outside the coast. On the night of Thangaraj's party, the police force closes in on Saghayam when he escorts Danny to his harbor. Singam initially becomes suspicious of Danny when he hangs with Saghayam's men. He lets Danny go but arrests him when Danny insults the police. Karim finds that Danny's passport is fake and that he has no Visa or work permit for the harbor.Bhai informs Thangaraj of Danny's arrest and Thangaraj has many politicans and authorities whom he's friends with call Singam and get him to let Danny go. Singam figures out that Thangaraj is pestering the station into letting Danny go and wonders why it's so important. Singam researches Danny and finds out his identity as a drug supplier. Singam is called by his superiors who are at Thangaraj's party as a set distraction. In the meantime Bhai sends several men to bust Danny out and obliderate the station. The attack kills many police and injures Karim, who is hospitalized. Danny is escorted out to sea again where he calls Thangaraj and scolds him to kill Singam for insultingly arresting him.

Bhai travels to Chennai and Singam has officer Rajendran and his colleagues friends who are on the police force track Bhai to a forest hideout. Singam and his men ambush Bhai's gang and have them all arrested. Bhai's entire army attacks the city but Singam fortifies Thoothikudi's center again and has them arrested and beaten. Singam also manages to get all the police who work for Bhai fired. Thangaraj calls up Danny and tells him to stay away from India because of this. Danny calls Singam personally and informs him that he won't win, to which Singam replies that he will find him wherever he's hiding and arrest him. Singam confronts Thangaraj and informs him of his knowledge of his treachery. He calls up police scouts in the town of Rameshwaram to kill Saghayam and spares Thangaraj hoping he'll reform. Mayil Vaaganam's former ally Harbor Shanmugan informs Singam that Thangaraj has hired goons to kill Singam. Singam confronts the goons that night and fends them off, telling Thangaraj that he'll retaliate.Singam has a parcel of cocaine sent to Thangaraj's house to catch him for drug smuggling, to Sathya's worry. During the seizure at Thangaraj's house, his men tell him that they checked Sathya's car GPS and that she had never been to the location where she claimed to be abducted, and the fact that she now has her necklace seemingly supports this. She has also taken notice of her uncle's Ipad password simply to play on it, but Thangaraj suspects her niece is working with the police and instructs his brother, Sathya's father to murder her. Sathya is found poisoned the next day but Singam refuses to believe it's a suicide since he told Sathya about her uncle's illegal activities and that she was killed for it. Singam confronts Thangaraj in jail and beats him up in retaliation, and swears to get him a death sentence for killing Sathya. Using Thangaraj's seized phone, Singam traces Danny's cell activity and finds that he's in contact with a friend in South Africa and that he's resting in Madagascar.

After a car chase, Alex is killed and Danny escapes to the harbor. Ambrose's men arrest Alex's troops and Singam confronts Danny on his yacht, shooting most of his crew.
