==Plot==<br />
Ravanan is a short-tempered farmer who lives with his mother and his little sister. He is known for punishing the villagers and even severely punished his own father one day. His father then felt resentful towards him since that day and decided to live alone.<br />
<br />
Meena, who comes from the city, is the daughter of a wealthy villager. Being an arrogant and spoiled girl, Meena often quarrels with Ravanan. The fight becomes worse when Meena stops Uma's timed wedding. The angry Ravanan kidnaps Meena and sequesters her in his farm. Ashokarajan, a wealthy landlord and an evil womanizer, enters in their conflict. What transpires next forms the rest of the story.<br />
