Selfish Rajguru (Nassar) kills 22 potential princes and the queen's brother with an intention of seizing Veera Chozhapura Palayam kingdom. An astrologer predicts that the queen’s next child will be an idiot, who will act in tune with his whims and fancies. So, he feels pretty happy.

However, the queen gives birth to a twin. Now, Rajguru gives one child to the astrologer and asks him to kill. Meanwhile, the King and the Queen name one child as 23 am Pulikesi and the other as Ugitaputhan. 23 am Pulikesi is a useless idiot, who runs after pleasure and women. On the other hand, Ugitaputhan is well educated and good at warfare. He decides to save his kingdom after coming to know his past. He replaces Pulikesi and begins to prepare for the fight against evil conspiracy. He teaches Rajguru a lesson with the help of his commander-in-chief (Sriman) in the end.

Comedy king Vadivelu plays a dual role for the first time in this film besides making debut as a hero. He has managed to catch the attention of the viewers with his sneak acting skills. The way he and his soldiers prepare for the war look good. Nassar, Sriman, Manorama and others have done justice to their roles. Technical aspect of the film is also good with good music by Sabesh – Murali and art direction by Krishnamurthy.

On the whole, it’s a good entertainer. Vadivelu deserves praises for managing to make an impact as a hero.
