Raja and Ramu are two good friends who are as close as brothers going on to wear the same clothes with both willing to die or kill for each other. Raja, the rich one of the two faces many challenges after attempting to tackle a union leader at Raja's mill. He is also insulted by the same union leader. Ramu swears revenge, changes his name to Shankar, joins Raja's factory, impresses the workers, climbs up the ranks and eventually becomes the union leader only for him to realize that the union leader Dharmalingam was right and the labour was living in abject poverty taking up the fight against his friend. Things get awry when their friendship becomes known to the workers who later understand that he is now on their side. In the end, Ramu dies fighting for the workers due to the nexus between Raja's father and the corrupt manager causing Raja to give up all his properties and take up Ramu's work. Cast
