Plot

Veluchami (Sarath Kumar) was brought by Periya Ayya (Jaiganesh), a rich man, since his mother died and his uncle Maruthu (Delhi Ganesh) tried to sell him when he was a kid. Later, Periya Ayya's wife died while she was pregnant. By a miracle, the baby was still alive and this baby girl was named Chinnamma (Shruthi), Veluchami took care of her.

Many years later, Veluchami becomes a heart-of-gold man who helps the villagers, and he cannot tolerate injustice. His uncle Maruthu and his daughter Rasathi (Vineetha) come to his village, Rasathi falls in love with Veluchami and she compels him to marry her. In the meantime, Veluchami clashes with a rich landlord (Captain Raju) and his son Raja (Kazan Khan).

Finally, Veluchami promises Rasathi to marry her. Chinnamma's dream is having a lot of children. So Veluchami looks for a groom for her, but Periya Ayya refuses for her marriage because he promises to God that he will give her to the temple if she survived. Veluchami cannot accept it and he marries her by force to save her dreams.

In fact, Periya Ayya lied and he tells the truth to Veluchami. Chinnamma's body is too weak for giving birth, so Periya Ayya tries to postpone his daughter's marriage as late as possible. Veluchami is then heartbroken. The rest of the story is what happens to Veluchami, Chinnamma and Rasathi.
