Vetri and Maya love each other. Vetri's twin brother Shakthi wants to molest Maya, so he is thrown by his parents. A few years later, villains kill Vetri, his parents, and Maya. They return as ghosts and eliminate them one by one. Shakthi returns as a powerful tantrik and kills all the villains for his family's dispute. He now uses his power to kill Vetri, and at the same time, wants to have sex with Maya as revenge. In the end, good wins over evil.

Reception

Vishal Menon of The Hindu called it "yet another horror-sleaze-comedy, Kollywood’s latest fad, following the Aranmanai series" and also stated "it’s the kind of film where even ghosts (Raai Laxmi mostly) aren’t spared from being objectified".[7] M. Suganth of Times of India gave it a 1.5/5 and wrote "For a horror film, Sowcarpettai is hardly scary. It is one of those cheaply produced, paint-by-numbers horror films that hopes to cash in on a trend, relying on tacky visual effects, an overloud score, and costumes and makeup that make the characters seem like poorly dressed guests at a Halloween party."[8]
