Dinathayalan (V. S. Raghavan) is a rich and respectable man that has financially and emotionally helped orphan siblings Raj (Manohar) and Prabha (L. Vijayalakshmi). He also arranges for his only son Baskar (Ravichandran) to marry Prabha as the two are in love. Raj's work as an police inspector pits him against Dinathayalan, who retaliates. Raj is pushed into a corner and makes increasingly questionable decisions isolating him from his family. Prabha and Baskar's wedding is also called off.
