Their van gets hit by the other vehicle and is overturned, throwing the injured man outside. Shiva and Jagapathi remain inside the overturned van. Sampath Raj, the leader of the gang in the black jeep, steps out of his vehicle and starts firing at the injured man after a short conversation. Sampath then sees two men(Jagapathi and Ajay) along with the injured man, and he shouts at his men to shoot Jagapathi and Ajay.On hearing that Sampath telling to kill them both Ajay and Jagapathi starts running into the dark. Meanwhile, Ganesh and Ram Babu have entered the factory in search of help. Finding the place empty, they walk out and wander around for some time. They soon reach the place where the van had overturned and realize that their friends are missing. At the same time, Ajay and Jagapathi are trapped inside a room within close range of one of the hitmen and escape narrowly.

One of the gangsters momentarily walks into the room, in the view of Ganesh. Ganesh hides and tries to warn Jagapathi to stay out of sight. When Jagapathi finds the purse and turns around he realizes that Ganesh has disappeared. After searching the room thoroughly, Jagapathi decides to leave.

Sampath sends all of his men to find the girl, leaving a single gangster with the three captives. Ram attacks the sole gangster and kills him. They run out of the factory and catch up with Ganesh and Saroja. They are soon trapped in a lonely building with a single entry. The gangsters follow them and await them at the front of the building.

For their bad time they see Sampath and his sole gangster waiting for Vishwanath to get the money.

At that time Vishwanath and ACP Ravichandran reach the spot. Vishwanath and Ravichandran are standing on the other side of the tracks. Saroja leaves the hideout, crosses the tracks, and embraces Ravichandran out of relief. Just as Vishwanath is overjoyed that his daughter is back in safe hands, Ravichandran pulls out a gun and points it at Saroja. At that moment, Vishwanath realizes that Ravichandran is actually the mastermind behind Saroja's abduction and that Sampath is just another henchman responsible for caryring out Ravichandran's orders.

In the nick of time, the heroes emerge from the hideout and fight the goons with all their might. Vishwanath finally shoots and kills Ravichandran, and Saroja is reunited with her family.
