Premise

Arul Kumaran, who works in a mill is the third son of four brothers in a family of goldsmiths in Coimbatore. Once, Arul's brother steals a chain due to financial circumstances. Arul took the blame and was labelled as a thief, where he was seen as a black sheep by his father Bala Aasari. Thus, he vows never to make a gold ornament ever again. Kanmani, who moves into his neighbourhood eventually falls for Arul. However, Arul does not reciprocate. When Bala scolds Arul at a family gathering, Kanmani stands up for him causing Bala to insult her. Soon, Arul marries Kanmani. The setting up of the party office of the ruling party forces Arul to lock horns with MLA Gajapathy, along with his brother and party leader Sethupathy.
