Two heroes - Satyaraj and Prabhu - are big brother and little brother respectively being brought up by their widowed mother, Gandhimathi. They are a happy go lucky pair and the way in which they cheat a restaurant owner without paying up and in fact destroying his eatery is quite hilarious. Nadiya is the heroine, she is their niece; inspite of the availability of 'murai maamans' she is betrothed to another wealthy person because her parents are well off and do not want their daughter to be married to either of the brothers because they are simple village folk and not rich. At this point I was quite curious because here are the heroes and here is the heroine but she is not going to be married to either seemed to defeat the purpose of the movie. Hmm...
Naturally both Prabhu and Satyaraj are disappointed, more so is Gandhimathi; she is irked by their arrogance to overlook close relations. After all who would come to rescue in times of dire need, but close kith and kin. Her sentiments prove true when due to unexpected tragedy Nadia is orphaned and her grandmother takes her in when she has no where else to go, but now she does not hold any grudge against the girl and takes care of her affectionately. She too for her part, in spite of her luxurious up bringing does chores around the home and makes herself useful. She also tries to take up a job to supplement the family income but in that small town there are little or no opportunities suitable for an educated girl like her.
Sudha Chandran a young widow who lives with her unmarried older brother is their neighbour. Sudha well depicts the anguishes of a girl widowed at a very young age without ever having lived a happy bride. She has to change from her wedding silks to the widows' white sari almost immediately because her wedded life has been extremely short lived.
Will either of the brothers marry Nadia? And is the movie going to depict either of the brothers giving a new lease of life to an innocent young widow? are some of the questions answered if you watch this movie.
Some laughs in the first half of the movie, the second half is more serious.
