A rich landlord Ramasamy (Vijayakumar) and his wife Lakshmi (Sujatha) have two sons Deva (Sarath Kumar) and Selva (Abbas). Deva is an illiterate village bumpkin who is naive and is devoted to his family, gives a job to Pachakili (Vadivelu) who makes fun. Selva is a college student. Raasathi (Sakshi Sivanand) is Deva's cousin and love interest, and was betrothed to marry him since childhood. Deva's family has a rivalry with Ramasamy's younger brother's family. All is well until Deva's maternal grandmother becomes severely ill. She meets with Ramasamy on her deathbed and reveals a secret: Deva is not their Child. During her delivery, Lakshmi's son was born dead. As a result, Lakshmi's mother switched her dead son with an infant Deva, whom she found abandoned in a train laterine. This causes Ramasamy to kick out deva from his home and disown him, as Ramasamy is a staunch castist. This causes the rich Deva to become a pauper, but he loves his parents more than ever.
