Plot[edit]
For several years, Thangapandi (Prabhu) is in feud with his stepbrothers Sellasamy (Ponvannan) and Raasa (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 realise 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.
