An enterprising youngster in a slum wants his people to lead a life of dignity, but has to take on an ambitious capitalist, who only wants to dominate his field.
Review: When we first see Arivu (Sivakarthikeyan), the protagonist of Velaikkaran, he is pleading with Kasi (Prakash Raj), the gangster in his slum to let him start an FM for the area. Arivu’s intention, we learn later, is to use this FM to push his people towards upliftment, by making them aware of how much Kasi has been exploiting their helplessness. But circumstances force Arivu to stop broadcasting and join a FMCG company as a marketing executive, where he looks up to Adhi (Fahadh Faasil), an ambitious manager. Even as he continues his fight against Kasi, Arivu realises that what he is doing at work is no different from what the gangster has been doing — and decides to change the system.
