Plot

Subramani, the college leader, falls in love with Meenakshi, but she requests him to complete her challenges to accept his love. Subramani succeeds her challenges, and when she asks him to kiss her in public, he is arrested by a police officer. Aarusamy, Subramani's brother, the respected village chief, lives with Thayamma. In the past, Subramani's mother died during Subramani's childbirth. Aarusamy and Thayamma got engaged when they were children. They stayed unmarried to take care of Subramani.

Subramani is later released from jail. Meenakshi's uncle Thangarasu wants to marry her, and he then beats up Aarusamy. Later, Thayamma decides to work in Meenakshi's house to spy on her. Meenakshi admits to Thayamma that she is in love with Subramani. Thangarasu agrees for Meenakshi and Subramani's marriage. Finally, Subramani and Meenakshi get married, but they discover that Thayamma has died.

It is revealed that on the day before, Thangarasu humiliated Aarusamy to take revenge, and Aarusamy accepted it for his brother's marriage. Unable to bear this torture, Thayamma dies watching him. The film ends with Aarusamy marrying Thayamma before carrying her dead body off to perform her last rites.
