Harish), Balu (Ranjeev), Murali (Harikumar), Devaraj (Kannan), Shankar (Prem Raj), Peter (Vijayraj) and Siva (Sivasanth). Soon, the youngsters clash with the terrorist Kumar who used them wrongly and the local liquor-shop owner (Raviraj).

Reception
Malini Mannath of The Indian Express gave the film a mixed review and said, "A tighter hold on his screenplay, avoiding of repetition of situations and stronger characterisations would have brought out the message better".[3] Thulasi of Kalki praised the director for handling the theme against violence in an interesting manner.[4]
