Plot

Ganesh comes from Madurai to continue his medical course in Chennai. Srimathy, Ganesh's professor's daughter, wants to meet Ganesh and thank him for helping her escape from the clutches of some goons. When Ganesh and Srimathy meet, they are surprised as they know each other. Having spotted both of them, some unknown gangsters vow to kill them, which leads to Ganesh and Srimathy's past.

Eswari is an arrogant moneylender, who lends money at usurious rates and goes after families who fail to repay. Srimathy's family falls afoul of Eswari, where Ganesh helps Srimathy's folks. Eswari falls for Ganesh's bravery and proposes to him, but he rejects her. She ends up kidnapping Ganesh's parents and threatening Ganesh to accept her.

However, Ganesh thwarts all her plans, but in a freak mishap, Eswari's brothers mistakes Ganesh to be the reason for their sister's death, where her brothers Periya Karuppu and Chinna Karuppu resolve to kill him. Ganesh, who reaches Chennai for safety, is eventually forced to go back to his old ways and fights the goons to restore order.
