Plot

Aadhityan is an orphaned village blacksmith, and the villagers consider him as a rude ruffian. The neighbouring zamindar forces the villagers to leave the village, and they land in Aadhityan's village. Aadhityan helps them and then clashes with the zamindar. In the meantime, Chinna Paandi, a Tamil teacher, is engaged to teach Tamil to the Telugu girl Manga. The zamindar finally accepts the villagers in his village. Vedachellam is a gambling addict who borrows money from the zamindar. The zamindar wants his son Vinod to marry Vedachellam's daughter Rasathi. Indebted, Vedachellam reluctantly accepts the zamindar's proposal. Chinna Pandi advises Vedachellam to save the village and to have Aadhityan marry Rasathi. The drunk Aadhityan ties the thaali around Rasathi's neck. Rasathi marries Aadhityan, but she hates him.

Reception
