Sekar (Murali) lives in a village near Tenkasi along with his mother Deivanai (Manorama) and two sisters. Drought hits their village and agriculture does not prove to be profitable which prompts Sekar to seek out an opportunity to leave to Dubai for work. He sells a portion of his land and gives Rs.1 Lakh to Anandaraj who manages a firm involved in arranging work visas to people and enabling them to commute to Dubai.

Muthuraman (Parthiban) lives in a village near Coimbatore and works for a landlord Vijayakumar. Muthu falls in love with his landlord’s daughter Valli (Meena) and the couple get married without the consent of Vijayakumar. Valli challenges her father that she will lead a good life with Muthu. To earn money, Muthu also enrols with Anandaraj’s firm to go to Dubai. Anandaraj takes all the persons enrolled with him to Chennai and the flight is scheduled on the next day. But to everyone’s shock, Anandaraj runs away with the corpus fund collected on the same night. Police informs that Anandaraj is a fraud involved in money looting.

Everyone leaves the place with much disappointment except Sekar and Muthu as they are scared much thinking of the consequences to their family if they get to know about the loss of money. Sekar and Muthu get to know about each other’s family situation and come up with a plan. Sekar goes to Muthu’s home while Muthu goes to Sekar’s home. Sekar introduces himself as the friend of Muthu and has returned from Dubai. Similarly Muthu introduces to Sekar’s family as friend of Sekar from Dubai.

Muthu understands that the soil in Sekar’s land is not fit for agriculture and decides to buy a couple of cows with the help of Sudalai (Vadivelu) and starts milk business. Meanwhile Sekar starts a small hotel business as Valli cooks very well. Muthu’s sister Amudha (Malavika) falls in love with Sekar but Sekar does not reciprocate thinking it would be betraying the trust of Muthu. Both the family situations improve and Valli feels proud that she has won the challenge against her father. Also Valli gets pregnant.
