Komban cannot tolerate injustice in any form and repels against it immediately without fearing about its after effects. Komban falls in love with Pazhani, the only daughter of Muthiah. Kottaiamma approaches Muthiah with a wedding proposal between their children. Muthiah agrees for the wedding seeing Komban's kind heart, but fears that Komban's angry issues would make him land in problems. Despite this, Komban and Pazhani get married. One day, Komban locks horns with a corrupt politician named Gundan Ramasamy and trouble erupts between them. Muthiah is even more worried, knowing that this would put Komban's life at risk. Ramasamy kidnaps Pazhani with the plans of bringing Komban to his place, but Muthiah sees this and hits at Ramasamy and his men. During a temple festival, Ramasamy and his men decide attacks Komban and Muthiah, but Komban kills Ramasamy and saves Muthiah.

Reception

The film received positive reviews from critics.[3]

M. Suganth of The Times of India gave 2.5 stars out of 5 and wrote, "The problem, though, is not the similarity of the characters or predictability of the plot, but the lack of real excitement in most of the scenes…The film hums along, moving from one scene to the next, without really making much of an impact in the viewer".[1] Gautaman Bhaskaran of The Hindustan Times rated 3 out of 5 and wrote, "Komban is an endless roll of flashing knives and gritting teeth…Komban is hardly worth the time or money".[24] Baradwaj Rangan of The Hindu wrote, "Komban: So dull...that's the real controversy".[25] Filmibeat rated the film 3 stars out of 5, writing, "Packed with all the elements required for a successful commercial entertainer, Komban delivers the goods."[26] Indiaglitz rated the film 3.25 stars out of 5, calling it "a raging bull".[27]

The movie was heavily criticized by K. Krishnasamy the leader of the dalit party Puthiya Tamilagam and many dalit political leaders for its glorification of caste and was accused of fomenting intercaste violence in the state of Tamilnadu.[28][29]
