Like his first film, Yennamo Nadakkudhu, Rajapandi’s Achamindri is also a genre film — if the previous one was a thriller involving money laundering, this one is centred on an education racket. That said, this is also a lesser film than the other one, with the filmmaker, unfortunately, choosing to focus more on the message than on the movie itself.
The film begins with an honest education department official (Thalaivasal Vijay) dying in a bomb blast. Then, we are introduced to Sakthi (Vijay Vasanth), a pickpocket, who is attracted towards Malarvizhi (Srushti Dange), a middle-class girl. There is also Sathya (Samuthirakani), a straightforward cop, who is about to get married to his childhood sweetheart Shruti (Vidya Pradeep). Their lives turn topsy-turvy on the same day — Sakthi is chased by goons for picking the pocket of a gangster; Malar is threatened by the education minister’s PA (Jayakumar) for filing for re-evaluation on behalf of her maid’s daughter; and Sathya is attacked by his own friend and cop Saravanan (Bharat Reddy) as he starts digging into the death of Shruti.
