[1] Bhuvaneswari and her husband Matrubhootham do not speak to each other due to a difference of opinion which happened many years ago, although they live together.
Poovizhirajan is a poet, and is physically attracted to Urvasi, who is one of his biggest fans, and is the daughter of wealthy businessman Sundaresa Mudaliar.
Their family is lower middle class and has little money, as Kandhasamy does not work and repeatedly interferes in other people's personal problems.
The husband realises that his mouth will be red after chewing this, and hence apologises and takes his baby and wife and leaves, having learnt a lesson.
Kandhasamy meets Venkatachalam's father Sivagnyaanam, and fools him by saying that he is a relative of a freedom fighter named Pathamadai Pattabiraman.
Hence she promises her brother that she will fix Poovizhirajan's wedding with his daughter, on the condition that Kandhasamy helps Sarangapani meet Neelaveni and makes him agree to marry her.
Matrubhootham happens to meet Rajapandi Thevar at a temple and discovers that unbeknownst to him, Bhuvaneswari and Kavisattai Kandhasamy have arranged Sarangapani's wedding with Neelaveni.
Kandhasamy and Venkatachalam stage a fake kidnapping of Aalolasingam and put the blame on Matrubhootham and Sivagnyaanam to divert the families' attention from the real marriage issues.
Kandhasamy talks to Rajapandi Thevar to recover Bhuvaneswari's jewels and vessels from the pawn broker shop.
