[citation needed] Raja is an unemployed, carefree, lazy young man who lives in Thenkasi with an extended family consisting of his grandfather Paramasivam, grandmother, parents, uncle, aunt and paternal cousins.

Paramasivam's niece, husband, and daughter Latha move from Kolkata to Raja's home to stay for a short while.

His hope is renewed one day after a conversation with Latha, where she mentions that wealth and education should not affect the love two people have for each other.

Paramasivam witnesses Raja working, overhears some of the labourers talking about what a hard worker he is, and sees a change in his grandson and softens his approach towards him.

Latha (later known as "Anarkali") celebrates her 23rd birthday with a grand party, and Ramesh presents her with a costly laptop computer.

Ashamed, Raja tries to hide his gift (some cheap clothing wrapped in plain paper), but Latha insists on trying on the outfit immediately.

After an emotional exchange, he welcomes Raja back home and now treats his him with affection and love and speaks of him with pride.
