Plot

The film opens up in 1968 where Mohandoss is leading a rebellion against the production of liquor in the state of Tamil Nadu. On the other hand, young Gandhi Mahaan is playing rummy with his friends and in that game him and his friends get into a fight causing all 3 of them to have scars on their face. Mohandoss finding out about Gandhi playing rummy and drinking alcohol he decides to teach him a lesson and he makes Gandhi vow that he will live like a Mahaan and that he will lead the liquor ban movement when he is older.

The story then shifts to 1996, where a 40-year-old Gandhi is a commerce teacher at the local government school and has a wife, Nachi, and a son, Dada. Gandhi on his birthday goes to a temple and he meets a beggar that says that Gandhi lives life like the 95% of people and that he will never live like the 5% that have no morals or principles in life. That same night Gandhi thinks about what the beggar told him about and Nachi tells him that her and her friends are going on a trip to Tirupati so she will be gone the whole day. Gandhi uses this as an opportunity to live life to the fullest and he goes to a bar to drink and smoke. Here he meets one of his old students, Rocky, and Rocky decides to help Gandhi live his dreams during that day. Gandhi is then taken to Rocky's father, Sathyavan, where Gandhi plays rummy and wins a lot of money. Sathya then is able to recognize Gandhi as his childhood friend because of the scar on his face and both embrace. The next morning, Gandhi goes back home to see Nachi and her family crying since Gandhi went missing. Nachi then deduces that Gandhi drank and leaves him taking Dada with her since Gandhi broke the rule of never drinking. Gandhi goes to Nachi's house to get her back but he gets ousted. He then decides to go live with Sathya and Rocky and they all come up with selling the liquor that Sathya's father made and naming the brand Soora. Time passes by and in 1998, Gandhi, Sathya, and Rocky are all rich from selling the drink and they plan to start a syndicate where only their drink could be sold in the bars in Tamil Nadu. One of the members opposes and this leads to them getting attacked by them but Gandhi fights all of them off. This incident causes Sathya to become super religious and it causes Sathya to get paranoid and he suggests that they stop selling liquor. Time passes by and in 2003 they are all super influential in society. However at the same time, Tamil Nadu announces that only approved liquor is allowed to be sold in bars and so with this development they decide to visit one of the party members, Gnanam, who they then deduce that he is also one of their childhood friends and they agree to a deal that Soora can be sold in bars.

The story then shifts to 2016, where the gang runs a liquor mafia in Tamil Nadu and also the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) are trying to find evidence to get all 3 in jail. At Rocky's wedding, Gnanam proposes a deal to Gandhi that he can let them produce the entire stock of the liquor in Tamil Nadu by killing off the collector and which they do killing him off. Gnanam then meets Sathya and Gandhi and he proposes that they produce all the lower quality liquor under different brands which Sathya acts grotesquely to it and Gandhi admits that they killed off the collector. With all of this, Gnanam decides to cancel the license of Soora as revenge but in which they find out that Gnanam illicitly had a son with one of the women in his old colony and they use that to blackmail Gnanam into reinstating the license of Soora. Gandhi then goes to a festival in which one of his gang members, Michael, invites him to. In the middle of the festival, Dada enters and goes up to Gandhi dancing and reveals to him that he is his son. In this timeframe, Dada kills Michael and he tells Gandhi that he is a police officer that was appointed on a special mission to get rid of the liquor mafia they have made. Dada however ensures Gandhi that he won't kill him but he will kill everyone else.

Then the story shows Dada's flashback on how he grew up with upmost hatred towards his father and how he wants revenge for the creation of the Soora brand and for consuming alcohol and he decides to become a police officer to take down the mafia in the most legal way possible. It is then revealed that Gnanam wanted to appoint this team as revenge on the entire group. Gandhi then visits Gnanam and tells him to stop this before it gets worse. Dada then takes Anthony and kills him also while on the phone with Rocky. Rocky enraged, tries to find out who killed Anthony and Michael and here Gandhi is forced to reveal to Rocky that the officer that killed them both was his son and he can not do anything about it. Hearing this, Rocky decides to go to Dada with Gandhi to convince him as an older brother but Dada as merciless as he is, decides to kill Rocky but is heavily injured in the process by Gandhi.

Gandhi not being able to bear the death of Rocky decides not to tell Sathya about it. He then visits Nachi at her new home and they both reconcile and gets Nachi to go and convince Dada but Dada does not listen. She then moves into Gandhi's house and lives there but in a sudden turn of events, Dada is kidnapped by Gnanam because Gnanam finds out that Dada is Gandhi's son and that he will only release Dada if Gandhi kills Sathya.

Gandhi then goes to Sathya where Sathya has a video of Dada killing Rocky and he sees that Gandhi is also present in the video. Gandhi tries to explain to Sathya that Dada is his son and they only went because Rocky insisted that he try to talk it out with Dada but in the end Rocky ends up dying. An enraged Sathya does not listen and he instead tries to get his men to kill Gandhi but Gandhi ends up killing them all and kills Sathya in the process also.

Gandhi then goes off to a remote location and burns the car that him and Sathya first bought together. Dada then comes and picks up Gandhi saying that he was able to escape from Gnanam. He then says that it was his entire idea and that he wanted Gandhi to kill Sathya so he sent the video footage to him. Gandhi enraged, insults Dada and Nachi to which Dada reacts grotesquely to the remarks. Gandhi then makes a plan and says that Nachi was also kidnapped by Gnanam and gets Dada to go visit Gnanam and to kill him off. During this he finds out that Nachi was not kidnapped and that she is given a Bhang ball by Manikkam to put her into deep sleep. Dada then visits Gnanam and kills him while on the phone with Gandhi. Gandhi then reveals that he has destroyed all the liquor in his house and that he signed all of his wealth to an NGO that helps people recover from addiction and that he shut down all the factories. However, Gandhi also tells Dada that Nachi was never kidnapped but that he used this opportunity to get Dada arrested and to teach Dada a lesson that everything in life has to be balanced and that there should not be an extreme of one thing and that with this conclusion he is officially a Mahaan.
