Under the domes of the bustling Chennai central station, three strangers; Surya, a farmer's son from Madurai; J. Prakash, the single heir of a billionaire industrialist; and Priya, an heiress of an Ooty-based tea estate, embark on a journey to Delhi. Their destinies intertwine when they discover their shared accomplishment of clearing the UPSC exams with flying colors and their impending civil service training in Delhi. As the trio navigates their training, a romantic triangle blossoms with Surya's genuine love for Priya contrasting against Prakash's lustful desires. While their lives unfold in Delhi, a dark chapter from Surya's past in Madurai resurfaces. Three years prior, Surya had courageously stood up against the corrupt local tasildar, resulting in an altercation and his subsequent arrest. This incident, although resolved by the District Collector Lakshmi IAS, leaves behind an FIR in Surya's name. This unanticipated revelation puts a dent in Surya's civil service dreams, leaving his results on hold pending an inquiry. Meanwhile, Prakash's lustful pursuit of Priya takes a treacherous turn as he joins the ranks of an IPS officer in the Chennai jail where Surya finds himself imprisoned. Seizing the opportunity, Prakash begins a deadly game, hoping to eliminate Surya and win Priya's affection. However, Surya, fueled by love and determination, retaliates and uncovers Prakash's sinister plans, leading to his arrest. Amidst the chaos, a tragic incident shakes everyone when Priya's sister Pavithra commits suicide, thinking she failed her public exams due to a vengeful act by a rich newspaper owner's son, Arun. The truth reveals itself too late, with Pavithra ranking first in the state, setting off a chain of events that lead to Arun's death, and Surya's subsequent arrest. Despite the turmoil and tribulations, Surya's unwavering spirit leads him to victory. The public outcry for justice leads to his acquittal for the accidental murder. With the clouds of uncertainty finally parting, Surya fulfills his dream of becoming an IAS officer, making his late father proud. The tale culminates with Surya and Priya's union, symbolizing their victory over the odds stacked against them. Their journey in "Vaanavil" is a testament to the power of love, determination, and the pursuit of justice against all odds.
