Spoiler-free synopsis
Tamizhselvi is a villager in Ramanathapuram district who is pressured by her relatives into marrying one of her uncle's sons in order to inherit her wealth, but she refuses, and the relatives try to corner her with the help of the villagers. With no choice, Tamizhselvi goes to prison in search of a person named Kathar Basha alias Mutharamalingam but leaves after seeing her relatives. Kathar learns that Tamizhselvi came to meet him. He gets released from prison and sets out to meet her. Kathar also learns about Tamizhselvi's family condition and also learns that her uncle Kaluvan, who is also the village chieftain, is actually the person who saved Kathar's life in an attack. Kathar sets out to protect Tamizhselvi from her relatives and beats her uncle's sons. To repay debts, Kathar tries to find a suitable groom for Tamizhselvi, but to no avail. Kathar learns that he is actually Kaluvan's son and Kaluvan was forced to be the chieftain of the village due to various circumstances, where he also abandoned his wife and Kathar was raised by Kaluvan's friend Kathar Basha. After this, Kathar and Tamizhselvi fall in love and get married. One night, Kathar is attacked by unknown henchmen, but he defeats them. It is revealed that the attack was orchestrated by Vedigundu Veliyan. Veliyan's father, Veriyandi, wanted to become the chairman, but Kathar Basha had become the chairman in order to thwart Veriyandi's plans. During a dispute, Veriyandi slapped Kathar Basha and humiliated him. Having learnt this, Kathar chopped off Veriyandi's leg and hand, which led to his imprisonment, and Veliyan swore to finish Kathar. Later, Tamizhselvi's relatives join forces with Veliyan to finish Kathar. Tamizhselvi donates half of the wealth to her relatives in order to take custody of her deceased brother's children. During a bhoomi pooja, Veliyan kills Tamizhselvi by planting a bomb on the land. Enraged, Kathar kills Tamizhselvi's relatives and Veliyan, thus avenging Tamizhselvi's death.
