The film stars Sathyaraj, Rahman, Sukanya and Kasthuri, while Thilakan, Nassar, K. R. Vijaya, Radha Ravi, Goundamani, and Mohan Raj appear in supporting roles.

Vijay, a young graduate, works as a driving instructor until he finds a proper job.

Ameer Bhai is involved in land grabbing and tries to sell Ganapathy Colony (wherein poor people, Sathya and Vijay live) to a gunrunner named Vadivel.

Marthandan finally accepts for his daughter's marriage, but Vijay does not want to marry if Sathya stays single.
