Shekar is from an affluent family and Maragadham is from a poor family. Maragadham's brother Kandhan is a tea-stall owner who hates rich people because of some unpleasant incident from his past. A local goon Muthaiah loves Maragadham and wants to marry her. Neither Maragadham nor Kandhan like Muthaiah. Shekar once saves Maragadham from Muthaiah, after which Maragadham gets a chance to save Shekar's life when during one of his hunting adventures, a tiger attacks him. Both develop a liking towards each other. However, Kandhan's hatred towards the rich comes in the way of their love. Will the two lovers be able to unite or will Kandhan's hatred and Muthaiah's evil intentions win?
