Plot

Harikrishnan is the adopted younger brother of Karunan. When Karunan loses his right hand in an accident, Hari at a young age takes responsibility of his family. Karunan's sister, Sreekutti is in love with the son of Paramanandam, who is unscrupulous and demands a huge dowry for the marriage to be made possible. To make this marriage possible Harikrishnan and Karunan take a loan from a financier Manavalan and invest it in a fireworks business, only to lose it completely in a fire.

Simultaneously, Harikrishnan gets his phone muddled with Ganga on account of both the models being the same. Ganga's father Raghavendra Sett is the boss of Paramanandam. Hari and Ganga have loads of comical misunderstandings before falling in love and deciding to get married. Of course this is not acceptable to Raghavendra Sett, and he puts obstacles in their way. The rest of the film shows how Hari and Ganga overcome those obstacles, and get married.
