The movie, which is set against the backdrop of north Chennai, narrates the story of several characters that live in and around a housing colony. There’s Sathya (Charuhasan), an aged don who’s powerful enough to control the local politicians, his estranged lady love Geetha (Saroja), Jail Pandi (Anand Pandi), Nayudu (Janagaraj), an ex-army man, and so on. Pandi, who falls in love with Nayudu’s daughter, Jeni (Sri Pallavi), dreams of marrying her. Despite several warnings from Jeni and Nayudu, Pandi confesses his feelings for her. After many incidents, Jeni accepts his proposal after informing Pandi that she is a transgender. Pandi regrets after knowing this but Jeni is strong in her resolution. Funny scenarios follow ending with an emotional climax where Pandi proposes to Jeni again.
