==Plot==

For several years, Thangapandi ([[Prabhu (actor)|Prabhu]]) is in feud with his stepbrothers Sellasamy ([[Ponvannan]]) and Raasa ([[Vignesh (actor)|Vignesh]]).

In the past, Durairasu Thevar ([[Sivaji Ganesan]]), the village chief was very rich and highly respected in his area. His only heir Nachiyar ([[Raadhika]]), married a rich man of neighbouring village as per Durairasu's wishes. A few years later, Nachiyar has a boy and he is named Thangapandi. Within weeks of Thangapandi's birth, nachiyaar's husband dies, and Durairasu Thevar becomes distraught. Seeing the young widow, his health deteriorates. He then forces her daughter to remarry with her maternal cousin Kathiresan Thevar ([[Sivakumar]]), so that she may have a safe life. Thangapandi who was aged 8 by then, hated his step-dad. Two years later, Nachiyar has another boy baby, and Thangapandi became jealous of the newborn Sellasamy. He leaves the house and decided to live with his grandfather Durairasu Thevar, in a grand house in the same street. After Durairasu Thevar's death, the conflict has hardened. Thangpandi manages all of the properties left by his Grandfather, and refuses to acknowledge that his mother is alive.

The liquor smuggler Angusamy ([[Ilavarasu]]) hates Thangapandi since the latter beats him up in public one day. Sellasamy wants to get married as soon as possible after his uncle Angusamy convinced him to, but that's disrespectful to not arrange the marriage for the elder son first. Finally, Sellasamy got married before Thangapandi.

Meanwhile, Malar ([[Saranya Ponvannan]]) is in love with her cousin Thangapandi, and he proposes to her. At Thangapandi's marriage, Nachiyar comes to see it secretly, and she witnesses how her son Thangapandi loves her secretly. When Sellasamy and his family go to Angusamy's house to ask his daughter's hand for Raasa, a fight occurs and Thangapandi comes to the aid of his brothers. The younger brothers realize the worth of their elder one.

The next day, Thangapandi gets a widow with a baby boy married to her cousin whom she loves, to protect the girl's future. Malar cites that the same was done 25 years ago by his Grandfather, and it has become old enough for Thangapandi to accept his mother and step-family. This puts Thangapandi into deep thoughts.
Later, Nachiyar falls ill due to a head injury in the fight, and Thangapandi feeds her last milk ([[Thalaikoothal]]) to choke her and to finally end her sufferings. The family reconciles.

Vijay is a well-known good samaritan businessman. One the day after his wedding, he is stopped by his wife's ex-lover (Sathyaraj) Shankar, who wishes them well in a sarcastic manner. Soon Shankar starts black-mailing Vidya often. Vidya (Jyothi) denies that they were ex-college-mates and kept quiet because Shankar is the brother of Vidya's friend, Saradha. However, Vijay does not believe Shankar's stories and believes his wife Vidya. He also employs Shankar in his company as assistant manager and informs Vidya that Shankar will not disturb them again. One day Vijay receives phone call while playing tennis with his Judge Friend (Srikanth). He receives the news that his cashier was murdered by Shankar. Shankar denies the accusation and confesses that it was Vijay that actually committed the murder.

Vidya, who later decides to help her friend Saradha, meet Shankar in prison. Shankar tells Vidya that he changed into a good person the moment after Vijay offered him a job. However, since he saw Vijay murdered the cashier himself and escaped with this motorcycle plate number TMC 7979, he denies Vidya the idea that Vijay is a good person. After Vidya returns home, Vijay informs that his motorcycle number plate TMC 7979 is missing. Soon Vidya starts suspecting Vijay, her husband. One night, Vijay is shown to be drunkard and having an affair with Saradha. Saradha took this opportunity to take revenge towards Vijay. Later, Vidya receives a call from the hotel, that Vijay is heavily drunken and ask to pick him up. However, once Vidya reaches the hotel, she is informed that Vijay went back with his wife. This further confused Vidya.

What happens next? Is Vijay is the true murderer? Is he pretending to be good person or is it Shankar who committed the murder?
