A man (Rajeev) settled in Singapore, visits his native village. His aunt tries to fortify family bonds, and seeks the hand of Rajeev's younger sister (Nadhiya) for her son (Vijayakanth). Rajeev sniggers at the suggestion and is nasty while pointing out how out-of-place it is. Vijayakanth vows to marry Nadhiya. Rajeev vows to see that such a thing never happens.

In Singapore, responding to Vijayakanth's overtures, Nadhiya first tries to knock him dead with her Datsun, and then tries to drown him with her motorboat daredevilry, but ultimately undergoes a change of heart and is eating out of his hands. But misunderstandings again cloud the relationship, and when it is cleared Rajeev is again at his insidious tricks invidiously playing up another suitor (Suresh).
