The story follows Saravanan (Dhanush), a seemingly soft-spoken man who falls for Gayathri (Hansika Motwani), the daughter of a powerful and disdainful businesswoman, Rajeshwari (Manisha Koirala). Rajeshwari agrees to the marriage only because she believes Saravanan is a subservient simpleton she can easily control. However, she soon discovers Saravanan has a "violent past" as a feared ruffian, leading to a comedic and action-packed clash as Saravanan works to change her character and protect his marriage.
