Plot
Within a fantastically wealthy city family, Velayudam Pilai, the patriarch spends most of his time playing poker, so he releases all his responsibilities on his elder son, Somu, a relentless, serious, hard-working man, with extreme shyness. Whereas Vasu, the younger child is quite the opposite, an accomplished sportsman and one who moves in front with no obstacle in life.
When Velayudam Pilai welcomes young and beautiful Seeta in memory of his deceased father, the driver Ponnusamy, who saved his life from the claws of bad losers in poker, his two sons are going to fall each, without knowing it, lovers of the same girl of the good Samaritan. Seeta, on his side, suspecting nothing, admits her love for Vasu.
