[edit]Pasupathi (Ranjith) lives with his mother in a village in Coimbatore and comes to town with the intent of finding a job. He fights against a few thugs and hands them over to police constable Daas (Vivek), following which Daas is promoted to sub-inspector. Pasupathi accompanies Daas and his team most of the time. Pasupathi's mother is diagnosed with a heart problem, and he is need of 500,000 rupees for the surgery. Pasupathi tries in vain to collect money with the help of Daas and Priya (Sindhu Tolani).
Pasupathi contacts a Naxalite group which promises to pay him the required money if he surrenders to the police instead of the wanted Naxalite. Pasupathi agrees and surrenders, but the money does not reach him as the Naxalite (Ilavarasu) who was supposed to pay the money had other problems. The Naxalite group decides to save Pasupathi by surrendering themselves and also give the money needed for the operation, but they are cheated by the assistant commissioner, who does not hand over the money to Pasupathi .
Daas gets the help of the human rights commission, and finally, Pasupathi is proved to be innocent and is released from jail. He also raises the required money with the help of Daas and Priya. However, doctors advise that his mother's health condition worsened and surgery might not save her. Pasupathi insists the doctors to perform the surgery. The surgery is performed but seems unsuccessful as his mother becomes unconscious after surgery. Pasupathi is heartbroken and cries at her feet in the hospital.

Critical reception
[edit]Sify wrote, "Except for Vivek’s comedy there is nothing worthwhile in the film. The second half of the story goes haywire, the film drags and the large doses of old fashioned mother sentiments in the climax leave you exhausted".[6] Behindwoods wrote, "On the whole, Pasupathy is an attempt that lacks proper conviction with an inferior script that decelerates the pace of the movie, if not anything else".[7] Revathi of Kalki wrote the concern director showed in mother sentiment could have been shown in the screenplay as well. But at the same time, he wins by touching the heart of the mother clan.[8] Malini Mannath of Chennai Online wrote "What is appreciable here is that the director does not lose his focus from the main theme of mother-son bonding, with every episode and character converging towards it".[9]
