Thulasi's mother left her when she was a child for the sake of money and, ever since, her family has shunned her, especially her father and stepmother.
Thulasi's only dream is to continue her studies to become an engineer and help her family, and she gets the highest marks in her 12th board exams.
Knowing this, a break-inspector and a goon in his 40s, Velayudham (Nizhalgal Ravi) approaches them to help Manikam's dream come true, on one condition: that is if he agrees to get Thulasi married to him.
A greedy Manickam coaxes Thulasi that the only way she can wipe away the sin committed by her mother, who had fled away with another man, is by marrying Velayudham.
Her relationship with the eldest-daughter-in-law Sudha is not in good terms, and so she wants Tamizharasu to marry a rich girl who is ready to be within the line drawn by her.
However, through a string of events, Thulasi falls for Tamizh when he stops her marriage with Velayudham and joins her in an engineering college, paying the fees for her.
A sudden turn of events sees Tamizh marrying Thulasi at a temple without the consent of his family.
Thulasi's mother, Bhuvana (Aishwarya/Sudha Chandran) lives with her second husband, Lakshmanan, a doctor by profession and their son Prabhakar.
Soon after, Lakshmanan's first wife, Sundari (Yuvarani) who also happens to be Tamizh's former boss learns that Thulasi is Bhuvana's daughter.
Lakshmanan asks Varadhan, his driver, to get his daughter Deepa (Thulasi's best friend) married to Prabhakar so that his honour will be saved.
The rest of the story involves around how Thulasi, alongside her now understanding husband Tamizharasu, overcome all the other trials and tribulations.
