Sathyam ([[Prabhu Deva]]) is the carefree son of a rich businessman, owner of Sathyam mills Lakshmipathi ([[T. S. B. K. Moulee|Moulee]]).

Prakash ([[Prakash Raj]]), Sathyam's cousin, has continuously spoiled Satyam by secretly sending him money to spend away in the [[US]], as Prakash wants to inherit Satyam mills. Disappointed by Satyam's bohemian behaviour, Lakshmipathi asks Satyam to spend three months alone on the streets of Chennai to learn the value of money. He would have no money and could not use the information of who he is or his education (paid by his father), to gain favour or make a living from anyone.

Plot[edit | edit source]

Sathyam (Prabhu Deva) is the carefree son of a rich businessman, owner of Sathyam mills Lakshmipathi (Moulee). He has been in New york for his college studies and returns home to Coimbatore after 5 years. Prakash (Prakash Raj), Sathyam's cousin, has continuously spoiled Satyam by secretly sending him money to spend away in the US, as Prakash wants to inherit Satyam mills. Disappointed by Satyam's bohemian behaviour, Lakshmipathi asks Satyam to spend three months alone on the streets of Chennai to learn the value of money. He would have no money and could not use the information of who he is or his education (paid by his father), to gain favour or make a living from anyone.

So Sathyam sets out and from the very start, meets Divya (Laila), who plays an overexuberant 21 year girl, who cries or laughs constantly. In the next frame, he saves Meenakshi (Neha Bajpai) in the style of MGR from would-be rapists, and in the third, he meets Julie (Kalyani), they both take each other as siblings. Sathyam promises Julie that he will help find her mother. Together they set out on a journey in search of her mum and to make a living (to survive to meet the daily need; food, shelter and medicine). Julie has her own sad story. He sees Meenakshi again, and the two of them fall in love.

Julie and Sathyam steal a suitcase from Madhavan (Murali) but later that night find out it is full of medicine. Without his medicine, Madhavan falls unconscious. Satyam goes to return the medicine and finds him unconscious. He then takes him to the hospital and learns he is going to need ₹ 5 lakhs to save him as he almost inadvertently killed.

So Satyam enters the house of billionaire (Rajeev) Divya's father, pretending to be his long-lost son Madhavan. He clears all confusion, reunites Madhavan with his dad and convinces Divya to let go of him. Prakash finds out about Sathyam and plans to kill him. Madhavan and Sathyam defeat prakash and hand him over to the Police. Sathyam marries Meena and returns to his home with success. [1]
