Slowly Vetrivel and Gowri start liking each other. Sivakumar and Lakshmi also plan to get them married.

Subramani (Karan) is the younger brother of Vetrivel and he returns to the village after his completion of studies. One day, Subramani slips from a mountain nearby while taking photographs of a water fall. Gowri hears his voice and rushes to the spot along with other people and Subramani is rescued by the villagers. This makes Subramani to fall for Gowri and he expresses his intention of marrying Gowri to Vetrivel. Vetrivel is so kind towards his brother and he decides to sacrifice his love for the sake of his brother. Vetrivel also convinces Sivakumar and Lakshmi to get married Subramani first although he is the younger son. Gowri is shocked knowing about the marriage plans but accepts just because of the respect she has towards Vetrivel’s words. Subramani and Gowri get married.

They decide to get Vetrivel married immediately to Radhika Chowdhry, who is Lakshmi’s relative. But Radhika’s father Anadharaj and grandfather Radharavi have vengeance over Sivakumar and Lakshmi and they wanted them to be killed.

Ponnambalam who also lives in the same village does not like Vetrivel and he informs Subramani that Vetrivel and Gowri are in illegitimate relationship which angers Subramani. But suddenly Gowri vomits and faints. Jaiganesh informs everyone happily that Gowri should be pregnant. But Subramani is shocked as he has decided to have kids only after Vetrivel gets married.
