Plot[]

Ragasiya Police 115 is set in Tamil Nadu, in the 1960s. Upon his return from a particularly dangerous but successful mission abroad, Ramu (MGR), the secret agent 115 of Intelligence Bureau witnessed striking revelations about the reselling of classified information of National Security. Ramu suspects a very rich family who was involved in the misdemeanor. Ramu is then sent to spy on the family who is led by Dhanabal Muthaliar (K. D. Santhanam) and his son, Nambhirajan (S. A. Ashokan).

Ready to take on his mission, Ramu disembarks from his hotel room, thwarting the welcoming committee which waits for him. At another location, a mother and daughter are seen comforting each other. They were the family of Ramu, including his younger sister Parvathi (Kumari Padmini) and their blind mother. Parvathi is worried for Ramu, but given her mother's plight, she could not share the reason for her sorrow with her mother.

Ragasiya Police 115 opens up full of unsettling questions, which allows the mystery to only thicken as the movie unfolds.
