Imaikka Nodigal Tamil DVD A serial killer (Anurag Kashyap) disrupts peace in Bengaluru by kidnapping. He goes by the name of the highly notorious serial killer Rudra, who was announced dead five years ago. After another such case, in which the CBI are involved headed by Anjali (Nayanthara), he goes live and declares himself as the deceased Rudra. He insists Rudra is still alive and announces that he is now back in action. Anjali, who dealt with the earlier case of Rudra, is appointed to deal with him. In a parallel storyline, Anjali's brother Arjun (Atharvaa) is facing a rough phase in his relationship. The film flashes back to his life with his lover Krithika Rao (Raashi Khanna) and how they eventually break up. To make it up to her, he, with his friend Vinoth (Ramesh Thilak), travels to Bangalore to meet her and enters the deadly scene between Rudra and Anjali. The cat-and-mouse game gets too intense when Rudra brings Arjun into the game by kidnapping Krithika and demanding a ransom from her father. In an effort to save Krithika, Arjun follows Rudra's orders and gets framed as "Rudra", making things much more complicated for him. Anjali is suspended, and Officer Narayan (Devan) takes over the case. After a series of clues, Arjun deduces that ACP Martin Roy is the new Rudra and is trying to kill Krithika. He fights with Martin, only to get beaten badly. At the end of the fight, Martin reveals he is not the actual Rudra and was very close to finding out who Rudra was. That is when he got suspended and Anjali had taken over the case. Martin then reveals that Rudra was none other than Anjali. Feeling betrayed, Martin went rogue, murders his wife, and stages three murders similar to the ones "Rudra" had done. When Arjun confronts Anjali, she reveals her motive and in the process, the real cause of the death of her husband Vikramadithyan (Vijay Sethupathi). He died in an accident caused by four drunk men. Though Anjali requests them for help, they kill Vikram. To avenge his death, Anjali creates a serial killer called Rudra and kills the men responsible for Vikram's death under the name. When she kills the last one, she declares him as Rudra and closes the case. Together, Arjun and Anjali manipulate Martin using Narayan, and Martin is killed. The film closes with Arjun and Krithika reconciling and Anjali's daughter Shalini (Manasvi Kottachi) listening to a recording of Vikram's last words for her.
