Plot[]

Identical twin-sisters, Vaani and Raani are raised by their uncle, Maanikkam, after their parents died. Raani sacrifices her education for Vaani, who aspires to be a lawyer. After years, Vaani becomes a successful lawyer and marries Bhoominaathan, a granite businessman. Raani marries Bhoominaathan's half-brother, Swaminaathan, a restaurant owner. Maanikkam's son, Manohar falls in love with Bhoominaathan's sister, Jyothi. Raani is forced to get them married, earning Vaani and Raani the wrath of their uncle and their mother-in-law, Angayarkanni. Vaani refuses to speak with Raani after that.

As years pass, Vaani and Bhoominaathan turn out to be very successful, while Raani and Swaminaathan are struggling since all of Swaminaathan's business turn out to be failures. Vaani has two sons, Suryanarayana and Gautham, while Rani has three children, Saravanan, Selvi and Thenmozhi. They all live in same house. Angayarkanni, who is jealous of Vaani and Raani's close relationship, enters and worsens the problems. Raani's elder daughter, Selvi falls in love and marries Rajesh with only Vaani as a chance witness, resulting in Vaani and Raani to get separated. However, Bhoominaathan later realizes his faults, turns over a new leaf and sends his mother away and tries to get the family together.

They get together but live in separate houses. Kadhir, a local don who has his vengeance against Raani's son, Saravanan, creates problems. Vaani's younger son, Gautham marries Kadhir's niece, Pooja to rescue Saravanan. Kadhir turns good after Pooja's marriage. Jyothi's daughter, Poongodi is involved in a love triangle between her cousins. Karthik and Saravanan. Selvi also faces numerous problems through her father-in-law, Kaali, Alamelu and Shenbagam, Shiva, Geetha, and Maalathy. Vaani's elder son, Suryanarayan marries Dimple, who hates Vaani. Gautham becomes a policeman and investigates a murder that took place in a quarry which was owned by a doctor known as GP. GP is also a prominent business magnate who controls the Indian medicine mafia activity, and his son Arya was a famous criminal dealing in international illegal mafia activities. Gautham kills Arya, enraging GP. GP tries killing Kathir but finally gets arrested by Gautham. Saravanan marries Pavithra.

The rivalry between Vaani and Akilaandaeshwari starts because of Suryanarayan's relationship with the latter's daughter, Janani during college days. They had a daughter, Riyah. Akilaandaeshwari's brother, Sudhakar murders Janani and frames Vaani. Akilaandaeshwari vows to take revenge against Vaani and Raani family. Raani's younger daughter, Thenmozhi falls off a hilltop and loses her memories. She is rescued by Chandrika and her brother, Poochi. Chandrika treats Thenmozhi like her late daughter, Bhavaani and refuses to give back Thenmozhi to Raani. Akilaandaeshwari helps her and forces her to smuggle drugs but Raani and Vaani save Thenmozhi, who regained her memory. Akilaandaeshwari and Sudhaakar begin a new plan with the help of Neela and Sanjay. Neela blackmails Saravanan and Surya through a plan and make money from them, and Sanjay takes Bhoominaathan's company with the help of Sudhaakar and creates confusion between Saaminaathan and Bhoominaathan.

Angayarkanni is murdered by Sanjay and Saaminaathan gets framed, occurring fights between Bhoominaathan and Saaminaathan. Sanjay plans to murder Saaminaathan and Raani. Meanwhile, the evidence that Sanjay was the murderer of Angayarkanni which was kept in Riyah's doll, reaches Saaminaathan and Raani. They blackmail Sanjay, who later exposed as murderer. Hence, Bhoominaathan and Saaminaathan are reunited. To save Vaani, Raani puts her life in danger. Vaani faints learning Raani's situation.
