The film follows Arivazhagan (original name adapted for Tamil), a tough-as-nails forest range officer turned vigilante. He is assigned to the volatile Kolli Hills, where a powerful sandalwood smuggling ring, led by a villain named Nedumaran (voiced by a popular Tamil character artist), is terrorizing tribal communities.
When the villain murders an elderly tribal chief who raised Arivazhagan, the "Singam" (lion) awakens. What follows is a cat-and-mouse game across the treacherous mountain roads. The climax, shot entirely on the real Kolli Hills ghat road, features a jaw-dropping truck chase that lasts over 12 minutes—a major selling point for the Tamil dubbed exclusive. kollimalai singam tamil dubbed movie exclusive

A mass movie is only as good as its villain, and Kollimalai Singam attempts to provide a formidable antagonist. Vivek Oberoi plays Raja Bhai, a don who rules a fictional criminal empire in Bihar. The depiction of the villain is intentionally exaggerated to raise the stakes. The conflict is personal, which makes the inevitable clash in the climax satisfying for the viewer.
