Spoilers ahead
Annaamalai Rajinikanth is a kind-hearted milkman living in Madras, whose simple life is bound up in a steadfast, childhood friendship with Ashok Sarath Babu, the ambitious owner of a five-star hotel. Their bond is tested from the start by Ashok’s powerful father, Gangadharan Radha Ravi, who resents his son’s closeness to a man of modest means. Annaamalai is gentle and principled, and his heart leads him to marry Subbulakshmi, a college girl he loves, while Ashok falls for Shanthi Rekha, who works as his secretary. When Annaamalai helps arrange Ashok and Shanthi’s wedding, Gangadharan’s pride is wounded, and he begins to plot against the marriage, doubting Shanthi’s status as a potential daughter-in-law.
