The film starts with a flashback as Paari is on a train looking back at everything that occurred. The beginning introduces a remote village in Ramanathapuram and shows the main character, Paari. Paari is a do-gooder helping everyone in need. A magnanimous man, he gives anything and everything to others if they ask for it. For example, he gives the groom at a wedding his bike, when he doesn't get one from the bride's father as dowry. He also gives a group of homeless people 1 lakh from a bank loan which his father asked for. A magnanimous man, he gives anything and everything to others if they ask for it. Promising his father Vasu to earn more, Paari sets out to Chennai but faces more challenges. He meets a young girl Madhi and falls in love with her but some goons also cause trouble for Paari. Meanwhile, Sivamani, the dreaded but sophisticated crime boss of the city, is getting ready to marry Madhi. When the two stories meet, chaos ensues. It is up to Paari and Sivamani to sort it out.
