Nandagopal alias Nandu lives with his mother Madhavi and mute sister Maya at the mercy of his uncle. They learn that their late father Raghavan bought a bungalow in Kalikuthupalayam, Tamil Nadu. Nandagopal goes there to sell the property in order to overcome their financial difficulties. But it's not easy to sell the bungalow as Nachiappa Gounder, a cruel landlord refuses. Meanwhile, Nandu falls in love with Chembakam. This matter creates other problems. Nandu's friends decide to bring his mother and sister to stay in the house. When Madhavi comes and sees the house, she is shocked. For there is a story from the past that she remembers and that Nandagopal doesn't know. Finally Nandu realises that Nachiappa's cruelty towards his family was only a part of enmity with roots in the past and he killed Raghavan in front of Madhavi. The rest of the movie is about how Nandagopal confronts Nachiappa and avenges Raghavan's death.
