==Plot==
== Plot ==
An extended family consisting of a grandfather, Mahendra Bhoopathy ([[M. N. Nambiar]]), and a grandmother, Vishali ([[Manorama (Tamil actress)|Manorama]]), live in a grand mansion, near Kanyakumari with their sons, daughter, and grandchildren. They have two grandsons: Cheenu ([[Shaam (actor)|Shaam]]) and Shiva ([[Yugendran]]). They both have a grudge towards each other from childhood as Cheenu is always first in whatever he does, and Shiva is jealous of it. Vishali ([[Sharmelee]]), the couple's granddaughter, walks in with her parents. This creates further rifts among the cousins as Cheenu falls in love with her. All these lead to the elders quarrelling among themselves, and finally, Cheenu sacrifices his love for his cousin, the dog unites the lovers. The whole extended family lives happily ever after.
An extended family that includes two grandparents named Mahendra Bhoopathy and Vishali, their two sons and one daughter, and four grandchildren (including Cheenu and Shiva), and others come together for Mahendra Bhoopathy's 80th birthday. Mahendra Bhoopathy's and Vishali's daughter comes to see them after a long time. Their granddaughter has the name as her grandmother: Vishali. Issues arise due to greed from the son-in-law, his brother, and Cheenu's birth mother (played by M. S. Bhaskar, Manivannan, and Nithya, respectively) to get more than their appropriated share of the property. Further chaos ensues when the evil Shiva falls in love with the granddaughter Vishali, whom Cheenu is in love with. How the family is reunited and the problems are solved forms the rest of the plot.
