Plot
The film is a story of romance that centres around two lovers: Deva (Vijay) and Bharathi (Swathi). The two are deeply in love but encounter opposition from Bharadhi's father Gandhidasan (Sivakumar), the head of the village. Gandhidasan believes that Deva is not a suitable suitor due to his perceived reputation throughout the village. Although the son of the well-to-do Raasathi (Raasathi), it comes to light that Gandhidasan's disapproval stems from his relationship with his brother Rajadurai aka Periyavar (Mansoor Ali Khan), who is seemingly apathetic and lackadaisical. The film ends happily with Gandhidasan recognizing that his now son-in-law Deva is actuality a really upstanding citizen in the village. Deva and Bharathi overcome all problems and live their lives happily married.
