Plot
The feud between Chinnaiya and Parama Thevar has not eased up in eighteen years. In his teenage years, Chinnaiya had cut Parama Thevar's hands because the latter killed Chinnaiya's father, which is witnessed by Parama Thevar's daughter Mangai. This results in Mangai having blood trauma, and all her marriage alliances are not positive due to this. Here comes Meenakshi alias Meenu, who is Chinnaiya's cousin, completing her studies in the city. Both of them are in love since young, but do not tell each other. Marudhu, the son of Parama Thevar, falls for Meenu's beauty. Marudhu takes pictures of Meenu, thinking of her. Once during a village festival, Chinnaiya fights with Marudhu, which results in Meenu accusing Chinnaiya. However, they soon reconcile. Meenu's friends come from town to bring her to a wedding. Before they leave with her, they manipulate Meenu to put up a drama with Chinnaiya for fun. Though reluctant, Meenu agrees. She falsely tells Chinnaiya that she is in love with a guy, much to Chinnaiya's disappointment. At that moment, his mother, Aatha, goes to fix an alliance for Chinnaiya and Meenu. Chinnaiya spots Meenu and Marudhu together, which happened to be an accidental meeting. He mistakes them to be a couple and thinks that Meenu is in love with Marudhu. This worsens after he sees pictures of Meenu taken by Marudhu. Meenu, feeling guilty and unable to open up to her uncle, gives him an envelope with Chinnaiya's photo in it. She tells him that she is in love with the person in the photograph and cannot imagine life without him. She leaves for the wedding, and Chinnaiya thinks that it is a picture of Marudhu. Without his mother's knowledge and forgetting the enmity between Parama Thevar, Chinnaiya goes to fix alliance for Meenu's sake. There, Parama Thevar asks Chinnaiya to marry Mangai, to which he agrees. Meenu comes back and gets shocked. She thereafter tries to change Chinnaiya's mind, who on the other hand, an honest keeper.

Once again humiliated, Parama Thevar decides to kill Chinnaiya and to marry Meenu. Chinnaiya rescues Meenu and marries her in front of Parama Thevar.
