Raghuram works for Rajasekar and is a stool pigeon, constantly ratting out fellow employees to improve his own standing in his boss' eyes. He also hides his relationship with his girlfriend Vaidehi as Rajasekar is against love and expects Raghuram to remain a bachelor. Vaidehi, fed up with waiting, insists on marriage. The two marry in secret and after lying to Rajasekar, go to Ooty for their honeymoon. Confusion arises when Rajasekar also lands in Ooty, meets Vaidehi and starts to see her as a surrogate daughter.

Reception

Jayamanmadhan of Kalki praised the acting of Sivaji Ganesan and Karthik, humour and Shankar–Ganesh's music but panned the item numbers and emotional flashback of Ganesan calling them unnecessary and felt it would have been a full length comedy film if this flashback was not incorporated in the film.[4]
