Unfortunately, the two do not get along due to Prabhu's/Adi's ruthless training methods and Madhi's aggressive nature. As a result, Madhi intentionally loses a local match. Prabhu later asks Lakshmi and Madhi's parents, Saamikannu (Kaali Venkat) and Damayanthi (Baljinder Kaur), to send them to stay in a hostel with him so that their daughters can work hard on training. Madhi misunderstands him but later regrets when she finds out that Prabhu has sold his beloved bike to buy new training equipment for her. Madhi then starts training with Prabhu and develops feelings for him. On the day of a qualifying match, she reveals her feelings to Prabhu, but he promptly rejects her. During the warm-up before the match, a now jealous Lakshmi injures Madhi's hand, causing Madhi to lose the chance to Olympics. Angry, Prabhu thinks that Madhi lost intentionally again and throws her out of training camp. Dev takes advantage of the situation by calling Madhi to Delhi for a cultural exchange tournament and makes her fight with a heavyweight Russian boxer, who knocks out Madhi in a 30 seconds. A demotivated Madhi is then approached by Dev with an indecent proposal, to which she reacts by injuring him. Dev takes revenge by getting her arrested on false theft charges. Prabhu comes to the rescue and bails her out. He later takes Madhi to Delhi to get her a wild-card entry into the World Boxing Championship, to be held in Goa 2 months later. Many people in the association, including Lakshmi, accuse Madhi of offering sexual favours to Prabhu. Ignoring all the accusations, Madhi works hard, enters the tournament representing India and goes on to win the semifinal. One hour before finals, Dev refuses to sign Madhi's boxer entry to the match and blackmails Prabhu to resign immediately if he wants to see Madhi in the final, with the same Russian boxer who knocked her out in Delhi. Prabu resigns from his government job, and Madhi gets to fight in the final round. she is dejected after learning about Prabhu's resignation. She keeps losing points in the early rounds and gets badly injured before Prabhu shows up at the stadium and indicates her to attack her opponent's arms to make her weak as Genghis Khan did to his enemies. Madhi follows the game plan and knocks out the opponent with seconds to go in the final round.
