Spoilers ahead

Saravanan, affectionately known as Saro, is a carefree and cheerful man who owns a retail cloth store in North Chennai. He crosses paths with Divya, a talented IT employee and the only daughter of the well-respected Tehsildar Anantharaman. Divya dreams of marrying a rebellious partner, yet she has one important prerequisite: he must belong to her Brahmin community. One day, she sees Saro engaged in a spirited brawl with some goons and, mistaking him for a Brahmin because he happens to be sporting a naamam on his forehead that day, she is instantly drawn to him. This attraction leads her to propose a relationship with Saro, and the two soon find themselves happily dating.
