The film was a success at the Chennai Box office and the music was rendered by Bharadwaj. Oru Vaarthai song was very famous around South India. This movie was also Nayanthara's debut in Tamil films.
The movie starts in 1970s, where there is heavy drought in southern districts of Tamil Nadu. Ayyadurai (Sarath Kumar) and Madasami (Napoleon) are land lords in Tenkasi town in Tirunelveli district and they try hard to help people and save them dying during drought. Local MLA (OAK Sundar), also a relative of Madasami smuggles rice given by the government and people protest knowing about this. But MLA starts shooting towards people and Ayyadurai beats the MLA following which he dies. But the local people support Ayyadurai and save him from police and also urges him to contest in the assembly elections.
Now the movie comes to the present, where Ayyadurai has been the MLA of Tenkasi for more than 35 years. His son Chelladurai (Sarath Kumar) also helps his father for the welfare of the people. Selvi (Nayanthara) is the daughter of Madasami and she loves Chelladurai. Meanwhile, Karuppasami (Prakash Raj) is the son of the MLA killed by Ayyadurai and wants to take revenge by killing Ayyadurai. Selvi proposes her love to Chelladurai but he does not accept saying that it might result in clashes between their families as they both belong to different castes. Also there comes a flash back where it is shown that Chelladurai’s marriage with Malavika got cancelled a few years back as she eloped with her lover on the day of marriage which made Chelladurai feel embarrassed and he preferred to stay unmarried.
