Plot
The movie starts projecting Prabhu (Prabhu Deva) as a shopkeeper who sells toys to kids. He does all possible crazy actions in the world, which really irritates everyone. He has many bad habits, such as drinking and smoking. Prabhu marries Meena (Meena), but she wants her husband to be like Sree Ram. Prabhu acts as if he is a nice guy and also gets caught a few times when he tries to overact. Sangeetha (Sangeetha), Meena's close friend, comes and stays with Meena as she is doing her final year in Madras Medical College. Prabhu had earlier pinched Sangeetha's hip when she was travelling on a bus. He gets slapped by Sangeetha and was thrown from that bus before she meets him. Sangeetha takes the task of seducing Prabhu to prove that he is a womaniser to Meena and fails in many attempts. The film ends as Meena dies of jaundice and Prabhu realising that his true love was only for Meena. Sangeetha marries Ganesh (Pandiarajan), who comes for one scene in the ending.
