Aadhityan ([[R. Sarathkumar]]) is an orphan village blacksmith, and the villagers consider him as a rude ruffian. The neighboring [[Zamindar]] ([[Kitty (actor)|Kitty]]) forces the villagers to leave the village, and they land in Aadhityan's village. Aadhityan helps them and then clashes with Zamindar. In the meantime, Chinna Pandi ([[Pandiarajan]]), a Tamil teacher, is engaged to teach Tamil to the Telugu girl Manga ([[Silk Smitha]]). Zamindar finally accepts the villagers in his village. Vedachellam ([[Delhi Ganesh]]) is a gambling addict who borrows money from Zamindar. Zamindar wants to get his son Vinod married to Vedachellam's daughter Rasathi ([[Sukanya (actress)|Sukanya]]). Under debts, Vedachellam accepts reluctantly Zamindar's proposal. Chinna Pandi advises Vedachellam to save the village and to get Aadhityan married to Rasathi.
