Ponni lives with her grandmother and they are set aside by the villagers. Bharathi, a jobless man, lands in Ponni's village, where Manivanan is village chief(gounder).
In the past, Ponni was in the village and she was going to marry. Before the marriage, the villagers including her father and Velusamy got into an accident and many villagers lost their lives in the accident. Since that day, the villagers began to hate Ponni.
