Plot[edit]

Muthu, a carefree man, is a lawyer who solves the problems of people, in stark contrast to his brother Manickam who believes in creating trouble for those around him, especially women. Their wealthy father Jamabulingam is money-minded and is least bothered about other things in life. Jamabulingam arranges the marriage of Manickam with a woman named Sivakami, but she loves another man named Dhamotharan. Manickam impregnates Kaveri, a poor woman, then disavows her and their child. Muthu manages to correct all the wrongs caused by Manickam, succeeds in bringing Sivakami and Dhamotharan together, and marries a woman named Sevanthi.
