Bagavathi (Vijay (actor)) owns a tea shop-cum-hotel near the Chennai High Court. He lives with the aim of bringing up his younger brother Guna (Jai (actor)) as a doctor. He meets a modern girl called Anjali (Reemma Sen) while giving her a refill. She doesn't know that the refill is valuable for Bagavathy, so she casually throws it away. He admonishes her for that and gets it back. Anjali initially thinks he is stingy, but later when she sees him helping a lady whose daughter has gone into labor and was subsequently beaten up by a policeman, she gains respect for him. Soon, Bagavathy finds out that Anjali is the daughter of a judge who is his friend.
