Plot
Thangavel (Prabhu) is a kindhearted poor man who works as a coolie in a bus stand. Ambalavanan (Visu), a marriage broker wants him to pose as a rich man from Singapore and marry Janaki (Sukanya) to break the arrogance and her money-minded father Periya Pannai (Radha Ravi). Periya Pannai finds out that he is a coolie, but Thangavel brilliantly lies that it is his younger brother. How Thangavel reforms both of them forms the story.
