Plot

Within a peaceful family garage, The Marudhachalam Murthi Automobiles, a drama is slowly but surely being formed.

Indeed, Somaiya (S. A. Asokan), the elder son of this small company aims and aspires to unreal perspectives.

Whereas Marudhu (MGR) the younger brother behaves in a reflexive way, clearly more responsible.

But contrary to all expectations, their mother (S. N. Lakshmi) sides with her first-born, blinded by her love, she supports him in everything, while making her youngest son feel guilty, ceaselessly.

As if it was not enough, Somaiya became infatuated with a beautiful bitchy girl, Nalini (Rajasree) who sees more in his money than in the beautiful eyes.
