Plot

Burma (Arya) is the son of Gurupadam's (Napoleon) chauffeur (Nassar). Gurupadam, a rich businessman and arms dealer is Burma’s role model, and his dream is to be like him. Soon, Burma's father is framed by Ayravadham (Kadhal Dhandapani), Gurupadam's right-hand man, and unable to bear the humiliation, he commits suicide. Burma grows up in the mean streets to be a gun dealer and waits for an opportunity to enter Gurupadam’s house and take revenge. Soon, he wins over Gurupadam and his daughter Sangeetha (Kirat Bhattal). But Ayra and Veeravel (Ramji), Gurupadom’s elder son, are tooth and nail opposed to him and fear that he will take over their empire. However, Burma uses tact and cunningness to overcome their resentment and wins over Gurupadom’s trust. Slowly, he starts to understand the machinations of the power play in the underworld. He uses Gurupadam’s bitter foe Karuppusamy aka A. K. Samy (Avinash), who was once Gurupadam's close friend, to his advantage and causes havoc, which leads to a gripping climax.

Reception

Sify wrote "Saran's Vattaram is an engaging action packed masaala entertainer which moves at rapid pace. Director Saran has spiffily shot and stylishly packaged the film with a milieu that is new to Kollywood - Gun running trade".[4] The film's performance at the box office was impacted by the sudden release of delayed films including Varalaru and Vallavan.[5]
