    Plot
    The movie is set in the fictional village of Solaiyur and revolves around a dam
    which is the lifeline for the village. The dam is under assessment for structura
    l integrity by the Public Works Department. The local minister has corrupt inten
    tions and wants to make money through a new dam project.
    The villagers want to perform a special Pooja to pray to the God Shiva. They dec
    ide to invite the grandson of Maharaja Lingeswaran who commissioned the dam and
    the temple. They believe the return of the line of the Maharaja will solve the p
    roblems surrounding the dam. Lingaa (played by Rajinikanth in contemporary time)
    is the grandson of Maharaja Lingeswaran. His family has fallen on hard times an
    d he is now a petty thief in the city. He is angry with his grandfather for squa
    ndering away the family fortune so he is unwilling to go to Solaiyur to preside
    over the temple function. However, circumstances force him to accept the invitat
    ion and travel to Solaiyur.
    Through a flashback sequence, Lingaa comes to know that his grandfather, Lingesw
    aran (also played by Rajinikanth, set in 1939) was an altruist. Lingeswaran had
    spent his entire fortune to build the dam against all odds during the British Ra
    j. But the people of Solaiyur had mistaken his intentions which forced him to le
    ave Solaiyur and move to the city.
    Lingaa repents his ways and understands the great sacrifices made by his grandfa

    ther for the public good. In the final act, Lingaa exposes the Minister's greed
    to the villagers and saves the dam from an aerial bomb attack.
