==Plot==
Siva (Adithya) is a naive [[ragpicker]] who works for Vaali ([[M. S. Bhaskar]]) and lives with his widow mother ([[Pasi Sathya]]). His life changes when he meets a judge ([[Visu]]) who motivates him and lectures him about [[Swami Vivekananda]]'s principles and philosophies. Siva dreams to buy a closed [[paper mill]], so he decides to work hard and with positive thinking to realize his dream. In the meantime, Siva falls in love with the college student Kavinaya ([[Manochitra|Manoha]]), daughter of the greedy politician Sadhasivam ([[Manivannan]]). Siva starts to woo her, and it annoys Kavinaya. Therefore, she and her father get Siva arrested, and the police brutally beat him up. Thereafter, Kavinaya understands Siva's feelings and eventually accepts his true love. Sadhasivam cheats the local minister and idol smuggler Aranganayagam ([[Dhandapani]]). He takes away his 1000 crores of rupees and escapes with the money. Aranganayagam's henchmen then try to abduct Kavinaya, but Siva comes to her rescue and saves her. Thereafter, Siva gets a bank loan thanks to the help of a well-wisher and rents a paper-mill. With the support of a corrupt cop (Vincent Roy), Aranganayagam once again abducts Kavinaya. To save his lover, Siva steals a [[Kartikeya|Murugan]] idol in a famous temple and hides it in Aranganayagam's house. When the police search into Aranganayagam's house, they find several idols and arrests him; thus, Kavinaya is saved. The film ends with Siva buying the paper mill of his dream.
