==Plot==
The film begins with Shiva (Ganesh Prasad) being attacked by rowdies and he is admitted at the hospital in a serious condition.
In [[Tiruvannamalai]], Viji (Vijay Anand), Ila (Jinga), Surya (Perarasan) and Sundaram (Hussain) are best friends and jobless youngsters. They love drinking alcohol so they often lie to their family and they give them money. Whereas in Arakandanalur, Ramana ([[Sriman (actor)|Sriman]]) is a wealthy rice mill owner and lives with his sister Soundarya (Athulya). His best friend is Thiru (Harish) and he can do anything for him thus it makes his family jealous. Ramana then marries Dakshayani (Jayashree).


In the past, the college students Shiva and Ashok (Abhinay) are archenemies but after the college election, they made peace and became good friends. Shiva and Saranya (Varshini) were in love while Ashok and Swetha (Sangeetha) fell in love with each other. Ashok and Swetha secretly married at the registrar office with the help of Shiva and Saranya. Ashok and Swetha then stayed in a house owned by a kind-hearted man ([[R. Sundarrajan (director)|R. Sundarrajan]]). The local don Adhikesavan wanted to grab their land and killed the innocent Ashok. Shiva and his friends complained to the police inspector and the local politician but they did nothing because they worked for Adhikesavan. Shiva and his friends then protested against Adhikesavan in the street and the police arrested them. The district collector Siddique (Siddique) decided to help them and asked them to provide evidence of Adhikesavan's criminal activities. Shiva then sabotaged all his business. Adhikesavan suspected his archenemy Kasi ([[Mahanadi Shankar]]) of doing so and he brutally killed him in broad daylight. Meanwhile, Swetha gave birth to a baby boy. Adhikesavan found out about Shiva's plans, he killed his friends and Adhikesavan's henchmen attacked Shiva.
One year later, Ramana cannot digest that Thiru betrayed him so he becomes a drunkard. Surya falls in love with Soundarya at first sight. One day, Ramana and the four friends have an altercation in a bar. Later, Jinga has stomach pain and he is rushed to the hospital. There, the doctor informs them that Jinga has a tumour in his stomach and it has to be removed immediately. Jinga's family has no money for the operation, so his friends ask money to their family but they don't believe them and refuse to give money. At the hospital, Ramana feels bad for Jinga and pays for his operation. Thereafter, the four friends decide to earn money and Ramana helps them financially to start a business. The four friends feel sorry for Ramana because of his drinking habits and Soundarya tells them the reason. Ramana's family and his wife felt jealous about Thiru and they tried to brainwash Ramana. When Thiru came to know about it, he decided to break their friendship.


Back to the present, Shiva takes revenge on Adhikesavan by beating his son Mahesh (Manikandan) in front of him until he becomes mentally ill.
The four friends try their best to save Ramana and Thiru's friendship. Ramana eventually makes up with Thiru and Soundarya accepts Surya's love.
