Plot

The town of Jayshankarapuram, home of Tamil-speaking cowboys, is ruled by a one-eyed tyrant Kizhakku Kattai (Nassar) (literally translating to East Wood), who rules over other villages as well, and is always surrounded by his assistants, a cowgirl Pakki (Lakshmi Rai) and an outlaw Ulakkai (Sai Kumar). In order to free their town from Kattai's rule, Bilagiri James (Mouli), Dagelandi (Ilavarasu), Jada (Ramesh Khanna), and Viruma (Vaiyapuri) travel to a neighboring town [holaypuram to seek out a savior.

There, they encounter Singaram (Lawrence Raghavendra), a man with a noble heart who has been sentenced to death for duty negligence. The gang saves Singaram from execution and explains their situation. Singaram learns why he was chosen: the brave Singam (Lawrence) was the previous marshal of Jayashankarapuram who bore a striking resemblance to Singam, and also was the only one who stood up to Kattai's tyranny. Singam disappeared under mysterious circumstances years ago, and the town was left defenseless.

Singaram is brought to the village and passed off as Singam. Singaram learns to adapt to his new name, learning all the hero's skills and tricks. He wins the respect of the village seniors, which includes Paandu Paramu (Delhi Ganesh) and Keluthi Amma (Manorama). Baali (Padmapriya) falls for him. Soon, he surpasses the original hero's prowess, though initially, it is due to dumb luck. In between the hero’s and the villain’s camp is a Red Indian village where the tribals are pure vegetarians. With the introduction of this village, Athirikesa (M. S. Bhaskar), the leader of the tribal group, his father Rangula (Senthil), and his beautiful daughter Thumbi (Sandhya) are also introduced.

The villagers at Jayashankarapuram find a map that is hidden in their ‘MGR Timesquare’. But it is only one half they have. They have to find the other half to hunt for treasure that is preserved and hidden somewhere far away. Kattai has other plans. He negotiates a deal of freeing prisoners in exchange of the treasure. Do Singam and the folks find the treasure?
