Accidentally, his son enters a deep burrow to hide from his father, where he disturbs a Siddhar's thavam that has been continuing for thousand years.

When the teacher announces an inter-school speaking contest, Thiru wishes to participate but gets scared because of his stammer.

He finally manages to recite the mandaram, and it opens a portal for Karkimuki to go back to the genie world.

Credit must go however to both Prabhu Deva and Ashwath who have put their best foot forward to make this film worthwhile.
