[5] Ravishankar, Kabali and Ramanathan are a trio of friends who happen to live in a small colony with their wives Suguna, Ranjitham and Malu.

The men are quite irresponsible and carefree by nature and spend heftily on alcohol and other less important means of entertainment and owing to this, their wives have an uphill task at their hands every month to make ends meet.

The director being aware of it, focusses on the problem of vexed housewives turning office-goers, the plus and minus points of it and the role of unemployed husbands during such periods.

All these common occurrences have been fabricated to an enjoyable level by the dialogue and screenplay of the director in this lengthy family drama of nearly three hours".
