A remake of the Telugu film Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana (2005), it stars Ravi Mohan, Prabhu and Trisha (who reprises her role in the original), with an ensemble cast that includes Richa Pallod, K. Bhagyaraj, Geetha and comedians Santhanam and Ganja Karuppu in supporting roles.

Santhosh was the only son of a London-settled Tamil business tycoon named Krishnan and Janaki.

When Kavitha was about to leave the place, Muthupandi suddenly arrived with his friend Karuppayya and was shocked to see her condition.

Santhosh, who was still upset as Kavitha left him, learnt from Lalli what has happened the previous day.

While waiting for a connecting flight in Dubai, Santhosh escaped from Janaki and went back to Tenkasi instead, with the idea of heading to Kavitha's village.

Santhosh, in order to prove his love for Kavitha, challenged him that he would cultivate one more bundle in the end.

He saw Santhosh living a typical farmer's life, and eating plain rice with chilli powder and got triggered emotionally.

Krishnan overheard Kavitha's conversation with her servant and realised that she too had been sleeping on the floor despite cold conditions and proper bed and was eating the same food as Santhosh.

The next day, Muthupandi revealed to his guardian, a railway manager that he added extra bundles in Santhosh's so that he could win.

When police arrived at the spot, Muthupandi took the blame for the murder and requested Santhosh to marry Kavitha and lead a happy life.

When he asks him why is he telling the truth a day before completing his sentence, Muthupandi says that he wants his sister to stay happy forever with the man she loves.

When Muthupandi gets released, he gets shocked upon seeing Santhosh and Kavitha still unmarried and waiting for him in wedding attire.
