[1] Thangaraj is an innocent man from a middle-class family, which consists of his wife Meenakshi and daughter Padma.

Boxer Krishnan, an irresponsible person with dreams of making it big in politics, is Thangaraj's younger brother and is married to Kanagavalli.

Valluvardasan is impressed seeing Sivaraman's character and decides to get his daughter Tamilselvi married to him despite they belong to lower societal status.

Sivaraman gets furious knowing this, and he does not agree to give money, and this results in a clash between the family members.

Meenakshi feels bad as Sivaraman's priority has changed to money and she decides to leave the house with her daughter.

Tamilselvi learns that it was Thangaraj and Meenakshi who tried hard to educate Sivaraman and understands that it is his turn to help them in return.

She meets Meenakshi, apologizes for her husband's behavior, and offers the money needed for Padma's wedding.

However, Thangaraj does not accept this and instead gets furious seeing Tamilselvi as he believes that Sivaraman has changed a lot after earning money.
