Kumaresan is a rich landlord in a village who spends his wealth for the welfare of his village. As Kumaresan's parents passed away when he was young, he has no one to care for except his sidekicks. Govindan also hails from the same village who has enmity with Kumaresan and keeps interrupting often whenever Kumaresan wants to find a bride. Nandini comes from a poor family whose father is a drunkard. Nandini is good in academics and gets admission into a medical college but has no money for her education. Kumaresan has a soft corner for Nandini and comes for rescue by taking responsibility for her education expenses. Slowly, Kumaresan falls in love with Nandini, but does not disclose it to her. However, Nandini views Kumaresan as her well-wisher. Kumaresan also builds a small hospital in his village and Nandini gets employed there. Nandini's father plans her to get married to Govindan's son. Knowing this, Kumaresan gets furious and informs everyone that he is love with Nandini which shocks her. Nandini replies that she never had any such feelings towards Kumaresan as she always has a huge respect for him but not love. This worries Kumaresan and understands that it was his mistake to take Nandini for granted. Nandini's wedding is arranged with Govindan's son, but Nandini decides to marry Kumaresan in the end as she thinks that is how she can reciprocate for all the help of Kumaresan. In the end, Kumaresan and Nandini are married.

Release
The film eventually had a low key release in August 2004, releasing three weeks after another Sathyaraj starrer Sema Ragalai. The film won mixed reviews with a critic noting "With its measly story and laughable characterization, it is likely to be forgotten even faster than his other movies." A critic from The Hindu noted it was "typical fare" and that "it evokes only a lukewarm response because both the hero's characterisation and the storyline are vague throughout."
