Shiva, a profession burglar, and his 5 accomplices loot from a rich businessman. Sathya, Shiva's twin brother, works as a realtor and leads a quite life. Sathya meets Subha, an upright girl, at an estate deal. Subha blackmails Sathya to hand over or she will complain to the police as the people, who had paid the money for the estate deal, are actually cheated by the land owner. However, Subha had made Sathya to make a statement of giving the money if she gets cheated in the estate deal. Days pass by, Sathya returns the money to Subha and the people and Subha and Sathya fall for each other.
Meanwhile, the businessman appoints ACP Kishore, a no-nonsense corrupt officer, to search for the robber. After a brief investigation, Kishore interrogates Sathya, but gets stopped by DCP Sarathkumar and reveals that Sathya lodged a complaint against his twin brother Shiva, who has been torturing him and is also behind several robberies. Kishore suspects foul play and believes that Sathya and Shiva are the same person, which is later revealed to be true. Sathya and his accomplices rob from another rich businessman by sneaking into the police station as drain cleaners and digging a tunnel to a factory, where the money is hidden.
The two businessmen become partners and sends their henchmen to interrogate Sathya, only for Sathya to defeat them. Subha learns of his real identity and break up with him. Kishore tries to expose Sathya by a written complaint from the land owner (who was the one who cheated Sathya, but Sathya had masquerade as Shiva and had blackmailed him to hand over the money), but to no avail. Sathya reveals his past and his desire for money to Subha, who understands his situation. Sathya tells that he decided to mend his ways for Subha, where she reunites with him. Later, the businessmen kidnaps Sathya's accomplices and their families and calls Sathya to hand over their money.
Sathya disguises himself as Shiva and calls the businessmen, where he saves the accomplices and their families by pretending to burn their money. At the hideout, Kishore finds Sathya, who makes a deal with Kishore to call the businessmen to arrange an attack on him and fake his death in exchange for . As planned, Sathya fakes his death with Subha and Sarathkumar as the witness, where he later double-crosses Kishore in charges of killing Shiva and Kishore gets arrested. Sathya and Subha get married, but Sathya still continues his masquerade as Shiva to rob unaccounted stocks from corrupt businessmen, without Subha's knowledge.
