Don Aur Doctor

Plot

Michael Rayappan is a gangster from Royapuram, Chennai who works for the welfare of people in his slum. He has a comical relationship with Angel Aasirvatham, a physiotherapist. Michael has a running feud with a rival gangster named Daniel. One night, Daniel attacks Michael and his close friend Kathir, who is the coach of the Tamil Nadu women’s football team. Kathir suffers from injuries during the attack, due to which he in paralysed for a year. To allow the women’s football team to take part in the upcoming National Championship in Delhi, Kathir requests the TNFA to replace him with his former teammate named Bigil, who is actually Michael.

7 years ago, Michael was an aspiring footballer, who along with Kathir and his team contributed to victories for the Tamil Nadu football team. His father was Rayappan, a crime boss who had a feud with a rival gangster Alex, Daniel’s father. Rayappan encouraged Michael’s passion for football as he did not want him to end up as a gangster like him. When Michael was unable to make it to the IFT due to Rayappan’s criminal record, Rayappan personally took up the matter with the AIFF president J. K. Sharma and forcefully ensured Sharma to include Michael and Kathir in the Indian team’s probable list. Despite Rayappan’s efforts, Michael’s career was cut short as he witnessed Rayappan getting stabbed to death by Alex and Daniel, just when he was about to leave for Delhi to attend the selection trial for the Indian football team. Michael kills Alex in front of Daniel, and instead stayed back in Chennai to become the new leader of Rayappan’s gang.

In the present day, Michael confronts Daniel and attempts to kill him for the earlier attack, but the police intervene to arrest Daniel and send him to prison. Michael later accepts Kathir’s request to coach the women’s football team and leaves for Delhi with Angel and the team. However, due to his criminal background, the girls refuse to cooperate with him, even blaming him for the team’s opening loss to Manipur in the National Championship and requesting the Federation to have him removed. Dejected, Michael gives his resignation to Sharma, but soon discovers that Sharma is targeting him in revenge for the humiliation that he had faced at the hands of Rayappan to allow him into the Indian football team and was the one who sent armed assailants to attack Michael before the Manipur football match.

However, Michael convinces the girls to support him and starts training them hard with the sole focus of winning the championship. He even manages to bring back two former key players to boost the team’s strength: Gayathri, a Brahmin girl who quit playing football after she was married to a conservative family; and Anitha, who is in depression and has refused to even leave her room ever since a boy threw acid on her when she spurned his advances. Angel motivates a pregnant Gayathri to continue playing football. Despite Sharma trying to rig the team’s next match against Haryana so that they will be eliminated and sent home, Michael’s team manage to beat Haryana and win all their remaining matches, eventually qualifying for the finals at Chennai, where they can play against Manipur again.

On the eve of the finals, Vembu is kidnapped and forcefully injected with cocaine by Daniel, who is bailed out from prison and hired by Sharma to sabotage the team’s chances of winning the championship. Though she recovers, she is unable to play in the final as she would fail the dope test. The team’s captain, Thendral, is also kidnapped by Daniel, who attempts to forcefully inject cocaine into her as well; Michael also gets kidnapped by Daniel and gets injected with cocaine. Michael manages to beat Daniel’s men and chases Daniel to his house and proceeds to kill him, but when he sees Daniel’s young son, he changes his mind and spares Daniel, as he realises he does not want the young boy’s future to end up like him by killing Daniel.

The next day, The Tamil Nadu team plays the final against Manipur. The match turns out to be a thriller with Tamil Nadu winning the Championship through a penalty shootout. Michael and the team dedicate their success to Kathir, who is watching the match from the dugout in a wheelchair. Michael gets Sharma exposed for drug possession, leading to Sharma’s arrest and subsequent execution in Malaysia, where he is on a holiday. A few months later, Michael takes up football coaching for children, with one of his students being Daniel’s son, who have now made peace with Michael. Michael takes Daniel’s son under his wing and ask him who is your favourite football player Messi or Ronaldo where he happily replies Bigil.
