Murugan (Vishnu) is the right-hand man of the local MLA Jacket Janakiraman (Robo Shankar). During a mass-marriage function organised by Jacket, 8 grooms and 1 bride out of the 25 couples to be married go missing due to the efforts of Jacket's arch-enemy, another MLA Maurdhamuthu (Aadukalam Naren). Murugan manages to get 7 grooms and 1 bride back, but 1 groom is still missing. To save Jacket's reputation, he asks his best friend Sakkarai (Soori) to pretend to marry the bride, Pushpa (Reshma Pasupuleti), the local dancer and item girl who is known to everyone in the village, despite his upcoming marriage to Hamsavali. Unfortunately for Sakkarai, the photo showing him tying the knot with Pushpa is published in the newspaper and goes viral on social media, forcing Hamsavali to break her engagement with Sakkarai unless he divorces Pushpa. Sakkarai asks Pushpa to sign the divorce notice, but she refuses to sign unless Jacket tells her to do so. To add to Sakkarai's woes, Pushpa even moves in with him.
Meanwhile, Murugan falls in love with Archana (Nikki Galrani), the daughter of the local tea shop owner whose main ambition is to become a police officer. Archana's father finds out about Murugan's close association with Jacket and asks him to give ₹10,00,000 to Jacket so that his daughter could become a sub-inspector and also asks him not to tell Archana as she wants to get the SI job in an honest way. Later that day, Jacket goes to hospital to visit a minister Shanmugasundaram (Vittal), who is on his deathbed. Before dying, Shanmugasundaram tells him about ₹500,00,00,000 that he acquired illegally, but wants him to use it for good purposes. This is heard by Jacket's brother-in-law Bhootham (Ravi Mariya), who also wants the money, but for his own benefit. He chases Jacket on his way home to find out the location where the money is kept, but Jacket meets with an accident during the chase and loses his memory, beginning to act like a 10-year old.
