Plot
 |
Within a fantastically wealthy city family, Velayudam Pilai the patriarch, spends most of his time playing poker. He releases all his responsibilities on his elder son, Somu, a relentless, serious, hard-working man, with extreme shyness. Vasu, the younger child, is quite the opposite, being an accomplished sportsman and one who moves in front with no obstacle in life.
When Velayudam Pilai welcomes young and beautiful Seeta in memory of his deceased father, the driver Ponnusamy, who saved his life from the claws of bad losers in poker, his two sons are going to fall, each without knowing it, for the same girl of the good Samaritan. Seeta, on his side, suspecting nothing, admits her love for Vasu.
