The film opens with the depiction of the caste chasm in society with the police asking surnames of prisoners to decide whom to release only upper and intermediate-caste prisoners are released under pressure to nab the culprits of several pending cases, the police scapegoat the prisoners belonging to the lower castes.
As the movie progresses, T.J.Gnanavel also gets it right is the manner in which Dalits and people from tribal communities are exploited for their labour. Rajakannu earns a living by making bricks for his oppressors, but he cannot build a house for himself. He is called on every time there are rodents and snakes in the fields but isn't allowed to touch or strike a conversation with a dominant caste member. He gets shooed away by a lady, when he says they come from the same village.
The uper castes habitually insult and discriminate against them, which they usually shrug off and move on. We seem them struggle to get papers from the government. " We ask him for one paper and he is asking us for three". Jokes one of them after being refused a caste certificate because they don't have ration card, voter ID, aadhar card and si on! . The film goes through several such everyday indignities, without a sense os outrage, perhaps priming us for what's to come. 
In another scene, Advocate Chandru leaving his political movement, to take action and bring justice. He jumps over the barriers and moves straight into the court. The message is clear: It's fine to protest, but we can make the real difference through our most potent weapon, which is the law. Action counts more than words. Chandru explain us clearly.
" It's a battle for equal rights. "
" Reclaim the power; justice is gor all".
In another scene, advocate Chandru is shown participating in a program where children dress up as prominent Indian leaders." All the important leaders like Gandhi and Nehru, are here.How come only Ambedkar isn't here?" he remarks.
When jewellery is stolen from sarpanch's house. Rajakannu, Irutappen, Mosakutty are falsely arrested and beaten up. Then , with the help of Mythra, Sengeni comes to Chandru for help. And Chandru disproved the witnesses produced by the police in the court. And request the court to CBI but finally hand over the case to IG Perumalsamy.
Perumalsamy realises Chandru's point. To change Perumalsamy's mind, Chandru doesn't use violence but the power of words again. Advocate Chandru brings officer perumalsamy to meet with all the " Untouchable" victims of the corrupted policeman. Those witnesses more Perumal- samy's soul. And fortunately, Perumalsamy takes the rights decision because of his duties and responsibilities to protect human right and democracy.But it is not an easy choice because Perumalsamy is going against the whole system, risking his position ,money and his own life.
Apart from this, there is a sence in the movie where DGP orders his subordinate police officers to drop the pregnants Sengeni back to her house in their Jeep. The jeep follows Sangeni to her house requesting her to sit in the jeep. These scene highlight the authority of the court and the system in which crores of people believe even today.
" Beyond words of support to justice, the court's silence towards injustice is more dangerous."
When Rajakannu was suffering the pains caused by the policeman, his brother suggested that he tell a lie and admit the crime to be free after a while. Perhaps this is the easiest solution, but not the right one and Rajakannu remind his brother that the wounds will heal, but the stamp as thieves will remain forever.
And the same about Sengeni when the police offer her money in exchange for silence.She proudly refuses, risking everything in the name of her husband and justice. But also to provide a genuine model role to her babies.This is a symbol that money is not important in their life but their self respect and their family is important. when money is given importance in today's Modern era.
" justice denied to a victim can create more damage then injustice suffered by them".
Towords the end of the movie, advocate Chandru in his closing arguments in front of the court says," what the court will give is not mereba judgement,but hope." The courts today need to keep this in their minds that all those who are voiceless consider the courts as their voice; you are the last hope for all those who are languishing in jails framed under false charges.
In the end of the movie, Chandru with his tireless efforts and help of the IG Perumalsamy brings justice to Sengeni and the tribal people. And SI Gurumoorthy, head constable Veerasamy and constable Kirubakaran arrest by police.
