The film story is woven with problems faced by people from different linguistic and other backgrounds. The hero is a Tamil speaking person. When he comes to Madras for employment, he finds it difficult to find accommodation. A Malayalam speaking person refuses to rent out a room for him. The hero meets the heroine while hailing for a taxi. They fall in love with each other. The story is complicated but all ends well educating the audience that unity is propitious for all.
The list is compiled from the database of Film News Anandan[3] and from the review article in the Hindu newspaper.[2]
