Dinathayalan is a rich and respectable man that has financially and emotionally helped orphan siblings Raj and Prabha. He also arranges for his only son Baskar to marry Prabha as the two are in love. Raj's work as a police inspector pits him against Dinathayalan, who retaliates. Raj is pushed into a corner and makes increasingly questionable decisions isolating him from his family. Prabha and Baskar's wedding is also called off. The lovers work to reunite the families and help Raj.
Music was composed by Vedha and lyrics were written by Kannadasan.[4] The songs "Nerukku Ner" and "Aha Aha Indru" are based on "O Mere Sona Re" and "Aaja Aaja Main Hoon Pyar" respectively, both from the 1966 Hindi film Teesri Manzil.[5][6]
