Arul Selvakumar (Vijay Antony) is a rich businessman based out of Palladam, Tirupur district. His mother Bhuvaneshwari (Dheepa Ramanujam) is the person behind the growth of their textile business following her husband's early death. Avinashi (Muthuraman) is her brother-in-law who is money minded and has plans to grab Arul's properties. Arul returns from abroad after graduation and takes charge of all the business responsibilities from his mother. In the meantime, Bhuvaneshwari meets with an accident in the factory and falls into coma. All the efforts taken by Arul to cure her goes in vain. Accidentally he meets an sage in a place where his mother is being treated. He conveys him there is a possible way to save his mother. Arul on hearing this urges the sage that he will do whatever needed to save his mother. The sage advices him to lead a 48-day life of a beggar with two conditions. First being that he shouldn't reveal himself and secondly he shouldn't say this to anyone. If he completes it, his mother would have a chance to survive.
