The film revolves around the character of Kichu, played by Silambarasan, who is a carefree and happy-go-lucky youth living in a small village in Tamil Nadu. He is a master in the art of Silambam, a traditional martial art form of South India which involves the use of long bamboo sticks. The movie is named after this martial art form, which also plays a crucial role in the film.

Kichu’s parents want him to get married and settle down in life, but Kichu is in no mood to do so. He is happy with his life and is content with his Silambam skills. However, his life takes a turn when he meets Janu, played by Sana Khan, who is a beautiful and bubbly girl who has come to the village to attend a wedding.

Janu is in love with Arjun, played by Kishore, who is a ruthless and powerful criminal. Kichu and Janu strike a friendship, and Kichu decides to help Janu unite with Arjun. However, things don’t go as planned, and Kichu ends up getting embroiled in a series of dangerous situations with Arjun’s gang.

The rest of the movie is about how Kichu uses his Silambam skills to tackle Arjun’s gang and rescue Janu from their clutches. The movie is filled with action sequences, comedy, and romance, which make it an entertaining watch for the audience.
