Pandian Stores

Pandian and Lakshmi have four sons. In a village, they operate a grocery store, Pandian Stores, and live happily. Muruganandham (Lakshmi’s brother) creates a few issues causing Pandian to face financial issues; he later commits suicide.

Sathyamoorthy lives happily along with his brothers Jeeva, Kathir and Kannan and his caring wife Dhanalakshmi. They run a grocery store named Pandian stores which is famous in their locality. Dhanam is often criticized by her relatives for not having children repeatedly, although her brother-in-laws did not let it affect her.

Lakshmi, the brothers' mother has a brother named Murugan with whom she has not been on talking terms for years. Murugan's daughter Mullai desires to marry Jeeva. Murugan convinces Lakshmi to accept this marriage. However, Jeeva didn't like this idea of marriage as he is in love with collegemate Meena. Later he conveys this to his sister-in-law Dhanam. Dhanam gets offended when she tries to talk about this to Meena's father Janardhanan. Meena's father beats her up, so Jeeva sacrifices his love and accepts Mullai's marriage proposal. On the day of wedding Meena ran off from her house and creates a scene in the marriage hall. Jeeva tells the family that he cannot marry Mullai after seeing Meena, creating tension in the family. Later, Dhanam decides to get Mullai married to Kathir, the younger brother to Jeeva. Jeeva marries Meena and Kathir marries Mullai. Mullai blames Dhanam for ruining her life by marrying her to Kathir. But later she gets on well with her (Dhanam) when her mother berates Dhanam. Meanwhile, Meena often picks up a fight with Jeeva as she wants a lavish lifestyle. On the other hand, Dhanam and Moorthy try their best to unite Kathir and Mullai, who are at loggerheads. One day, due to some misunderstanding Janardanan (Meena's father) slaps Kannan. This enrages the family and Janardanan stops sending goods to Pandian Stores, causing a crisis for the Pandian family. Moorthy resolves to sort the things out and goes out of the town handing over the responsibility to Jeeva. Janardanan plans to make the family suffer more by sending some fake clients to Pandian stores to give a marriage order. Jeevan believes the fake clients and agrees for the order believing that Moorthy would definitely return with the goods. Kathir smells something fishy about the marriage order and conveys the same to Jeeva. But he convinces Kathir that Moorthy would return with the goods. Half-heartedly Kathir agrees. Moorthy returns and tells everyone that he couldn't get the goods much to Jeeva's horror. He asks Kathir and Jeeva to manage the situation with the remaining goods. But Jeeva reveals all those happened during his absence. Moorthy scolds Jeeva for being immature while Kathir takes upon himself to make the ends meet. Finally he is successful in getting the goods and Moorthy praises him which pleases Mullai and irks Meena. As time goes on, Kathir and Mullai befriend each other and Meena adjusts in the house. Meena wishes to go for a honeymoon but ends up going with the whole family except Moorthy and his mother. During this time, Kathir and Mullai grow closer. At home, Parvathy and Murugan take care of Moorthy's mother and the business respectively. But Parvathy forgets to give medicine for Lakshmi (Moorthy's mother). Though she becomes unconscious Moorthy and Murugan rush her to the hospital and is saved. Meanwhile, Kathir , Mullai, Meena, Jeeva, Dhanam and Kannan return. After their return, Mullai and Kathir share some special moments when Kathir starts to teach Mullai to ride a vehicle. They both develop feelings for each other but are unable to confess. One day when Kannan Dhanam Meena and Mullai are talking, Kannan asks Mullai about her love for Kathir. She tells them that how they used to fight with each other in the beginning and how she acted as if she cares for him to avoid the petty arguments. Kathir hears this and gets hurt. Mullai starts to express her love for Kathir to Dhanam Meena and Kannan. When Kathir returns home at night he picks up a fight with Mullai. Disheartened, Mullai leaves to her parents house. Mullai misses Kathir while he feels that he is unfit for her. Meena gets pregnant. The family is overwhelmed especially Dhanam. She takes good care of Meena and does everything to please her. Mullai returns on her birthday but Kathir has gone to Mullai's house to surprise her. When he goes there, Parvathy taunts him. On the other hand Mullai thinks that Kathir is still angry with her. Kathir waits for Mullai but leaves for home when it is late. Mullai is in their room waiting for Kathir. When Kathir comes back home, he sees Mullai but thinks that he is dreaming about Mullai. When he realizes that Mullai really came back, he struggles to wish her happy birthday but somehow wishes her seconds before twelve. Moorthy and Dhanam advise them to set things right between them. It is revealed that Dhanam and Moorthy deliberately decided not to have children as Moorthy's brothers were too young. Learning this, Dhanam's family is enraged and Jaga breaks his ties with Moorthy. Mullai learns about the great sacrifice but Dhanam stops her from informing the others about this. But somehow she reveals the truth to Kathir when he discusses about Dhanam's mother blaming Moorthy for all those Dhanam has to face. Guild -ridden, Kathir meets Jaga and assures him that he will take Dhanam to a doctor. He along with Mullai plan to get an appointment for Dhanam. On the other hand, Janardanan is enraged upon learning that Meena is pregnant and no one informed him about it. After much convincing, Janardanan agrees to meet Meena. His wife asks her to come to her house and stay for some days. Moorthy and Dhanam ask Jeeva to accompany Meena but refuses to go. Somehow, they manage to convince Jeeva and he half-heartedly leaves with Meena.
