Amaidhipadai was released on 13 January 1994. It had a 25-week plus theatrical run and was a silver jubilee hit. The film has since developed a strong cult following. It was remade in Telugu as M. Dharmaraju M.A. (1994) and in Hindi as Jallaad (1995). A spiritual successor, Nagaraja Cholan MA, MLA was released in 2013, with Sathyaraj and Manivannan returning in their roles.
In 1968, Amavasai, is a lazy and transient, but shrewd man. He becomes an associate of politician Manimaran "Mani" and rises in politics. Amavasai drugs and seduces Thayamma, a village girl, into intercourse and abandons her; she later dies after giving birth to his son Thangavel. Amavasai marries the wealthy Sivakami and gains status and influence, although she chooses to remain celibate due to his refusal to adopt Thangavel. Over the next 24 years, Amavasai becomes a powerful and corrupt MLA, eliminating anyone who threatens his ambitions.
Thangavel grows up unaware of his parentage and becomes a police officer. After learning that Amavasai is his father and was responsible for his mother's death, he vows revenge. Meanwhile, Amavasai incites a caste riot to secure re-election. Thangavel, assigned to protect him, reveals his identity and begins working to expose his crimes with the help of Sivakami. When Amavasai has Sivakami murdered, Thangavel publicly assaults him and is imprisoned.
Before the election, Amavasai attempts to marry Thangavel's fiancée, Kuyili, on the advice of a tantric. Thangavel escapes custody, rescues Kuyili, and confronts Amavasai. After defeating his henchmen, he shoots and kills his father. In his final moments, Amavasai blesses Thangavel and Kuyili.
