Aadhityan is an orphan 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 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. Zamindar wants to get his son Vinod married to Vedachellam's daughter Rasathi. Under debts, Vedachellam accepts reluctantly Zamindar's proposal. Chinna Pandi advises Vedachellam to save the village and to get Aadhityan married to Rasathi. The drunk Aadhityan ties the thaali around Rasathi's neck.
