Top answer
I question the use of rowdy. It would certainly not suit the context in American English, where it means something like hooligan, but not career professional criminal. It may be correct in Indian English, although I have never heard it there.

After made some revision.
Pandi's only ambition is to become a gangster which contradicts with his Cop mother’s dream of making him a police officer. He manages to become a self-made ruffian and that's when he meets Kadambari, who is deaf seeking his help to take revenge against the dreaded don, Killivalavan, a local rowdy with powerful political connections who has murdered her parents.
