Kaleeswaran (Karthi) is a short tempered working class man who also enjoys playing football. His best friend is Anbu (Kalaiyarasan), a young political aspirant. They along with their gang live in the dilapidated flats of the housing board in Vyasarpadi, Chennai. In a long standing bloody feud, two factions of a political party are laying claim to a wall on which they can paint the portraits of their respective political leaders. Anbu, under the local leader of one of the opposing parties, Maari (Vinod), is determined to claim that wall for their own party. The other party chief is Kannan and Perumal who are making sure that their opponents efforts go in vain. The two parties get into frequent clashes and scrapes. Kaali falls in love with Kalaiarasi (Catherine Tresa) and she too reciprocates. They start teaching in the building whose wall was the cause of this blood feud. The wall now has a theme of children's education painted on it. Both the parties still wait to claim the wall soon.
