Plot
Muniyandi is a narcissistic man, who cares about his reputation and money, who would go to any extent like sacrificing his family members to get what he wants. His sister and Balu are in love with each other which Muniyandi disapproves. Muniyandi's sister poisons herself and tells him that she will get married if he takes her to the hospital, but Muniyandi leaves her to die, and also treats his wife Muthulakshmi poorly. Muthulakshmi finds out that he is having a affair and Muniyandi tells her to put up with it. Since the way he treats her and her family, Muthulakshmi burns herself to death which a young Viruman witnesses. Enraged, Viruman chases his father Muniyandi with an aruva. When the court advises him not to kill Muniyandi, Viruman tells that he does not want to live with him and wants to be raised by his uncles Niraipandian and Balu.
Years later, tension and rivalry always grows between Viruman and Muniyandi, which bothers other people specifically his brothers Selvam, Muthukutty and Ilango. Out of respect, Viruman takes any criticism and disrespect from his brothers because he respects them. Meanwhile, Thaenmozhi "Theanu", who is Viruman's eldest brother's sister-in-law praises Muniyandi, due to the fact he is her sister's father-in-law and hates Viruman. However, Viruman is in love with her. When the family has a fight, she publicly defends Muniyandi. Meanwhile, Selvam needs a job and wants his father's help, who rejects to help him. Viruman helps him to get the job with the help of the MLA Pathinettaampadiyan, who forts a condition to sell his mother's land which Viruman has always refused to sign for years, but finally does for the sake of his brothers. Thaenu realises this and starts to reciprocate his feelings.
Their relationship is caught by Muniyandi, who starts to disrespect her and asks her to pay for the remaining dowry from her sister's marriage. While the whole village is getting involved with Selvam and Muniyandi, Viruman tells him to stop co-depending on his father as he has his own family to focus on. Selvam agrees and decides to live independently from his father. This enrages Muniyandi, who wants to fight Viruman, but Thaenu kisses Viruman which shocks everyone. Viruman's brother Muthukutty wants his father to sign for the auction for the restaurant which his father rejects. His wife suggests to ask Viruman which he is hesitant at first, but later accepts. When Muniyandi finds out, he asks the village rogue Soonapona, who slapped Muniyandi to make Muthukutty lose the auction. When the auction happens, Viruman realises that his father has hired Soonapona and decides to trap him. He makes his gang chase him and Viruman locks them up.
Muthukutty ends up getting the auction for the restaurant. Soonapona and his gang arrive and disrespect the staff. When Soonapona raises his hand and Muthukutty, it is stopped by Viruman and a fight ensues. Viruman beats up Soonapona and his gang, which leads to them being at the hospital. Muniyandi is mad at them and brings sarees to imply that they are women. Angered, Soonapona vows to get the son and father killed. While Viruman and Thaen are on their date, they encounter his third eldest brother Ilango with his girlfriend. She turns out to be Pathinettaampadiyan's daughter and they have been dating for 4 years. Viruman asks him whether he told their father and he says no. Viruman comes up with a plan that Ilango should slap Viruman which would make his father happy and proud of Ilango and then bring up his relationship. The plan is done and Ilango told Muniyandi.
Muniyandi accepts and said he will ask Pathinettaampadiyan. However, Pathinettaampadiyan rejects the idea. When Viruman arrives, Pathinettaampadiyan reveals he actually wanted Viruman's approval than Muniyandi which enrages Muniyandi. He says to cancel the marriage proposal of Ilango but he reveals that he is done with his father and leaves. Meanwhile, Muniyandi's brother and his son decide to kill Viruman. His cousin lies to him saying they need his help to fix a marquee for a funeral. When he visits a fight ensues. His father witnesses this and Viruman knows it was not his father's idea because he would have arrived earlier. It turns out that his uncle wanted to kill Muniyandi and put the blame on Viruman because he wants his brother's money. Muniyandi arrives home and is mad at everyone for leaving him and faints, where he is sent to the hospital.
It turns out Muniyandi has kidney failure due to his alcoholism and needs a kidney donor. Viruman's paternal grandmother tells him that his father is in hospital. While at the hospital, he encounters another patient and reveals that he has raised good children and that his children still love him, they have stopped talking to him. Muniyandi's kidney transplant is successful and turns out that Balu has donated his kidney to him. While everyone is asleep, he leaves to visit his wife's old home. While he is there, Soonapona and his gang arrive and try to burn his house. Viruman arrives and starts to attack his gang, when he also realises his father is there and saves him. Muniyandi tells Viruman to leave him there, because he feels guilty for Muthulakshmi and his sister's death, and apologizes for his actions. Viruman forgives him and they reconcile with each other.
