Pandi (Ravi Rahul) is a shy young man. He is the son of the village's bigwig Azhagarsamy (K. Prabhakaran). Pandi slowly falls in love with the lovely village girl Easwari (Vinodhini). In contrary of him, Easwari is from a poor family. When the village blacksmith Marudhu (Selva) comes to know about their love affair, he warns Pandi about Azhagarsamy's dark side.
In the past, Kasthuri (Kasthuri), her parents (M. N. Rajam and T. K. S. Chandran), and Ramaiah (Vinu Chakravarthy) lived together in their big house. Maruthu worked in their house and had a lot of respect for Kasthuri. However, when Kasthuri's cousin Durairasu (K. S. Selvaraj) entered their house in order to marry Kasthuri, problems started. Kasthuri's father halfheartedly accepts for the marriage as per the village custom, despite knowing that Durairasu was a bad person. Kasthuri refused for the marriage and wanted to marry Maruthu, who was from another caste. Kasthuri's family accepted her wish, and she married Marudhu. At the village court, the village heads did not accept the marriage because of the caste difference, Azhagarsamy forced Kasthuri's father to kill his daughter for the village honour. Later that night, Kasthuri's father fed Kasthuri a meal which he had poisoned himself. Marudhu came to save Kasthuri, but Durairasu and his henchmen stopped him. Marudhu beats them all, but it was too late as Kasthuri died on his knees.

Pandi and Easwari then marry. Easwari's father Ramaiah, Kasthuri's father, Kasthuri's uncle Kaliappan, and Marudhu join hands to destroy Azhagarsamy, and they force Azhagarsamy to drink poison for his crimes.
