Plot
Pandi Durai and his brother-in-law Karuppayya Swami are two rival landlords, illiterate yet equally feared by the villagers for their brutalities. Bhuvanachandran is an unsuccessful entrepreneur who mistakenly buys a piece of land in the same village. He has many debts and must sell the land to clear them. However, Pandi and Karuppayya have not allowed any owner of the land to sell it, Bhuvan being the latest owner to land in trouble. Bhuvan, unaware of the situation stemming from the feud, comes to this village to check the possibilities of selling the land. Then he sees help from his best friend Bhasi, who lived there. Bhasi takes him to Pandi, for whom he works, and Bhuvan joins Pandi's group, soon becoming a close confidante to Pandi. Later, Karuppayya's beautiful, literate, well-mannered daughter Meena falls in love with Bhuvan. However, Pandi also wants to marry Meena, and this makes Pandi and Bhuvan enemies. Pandi tries to kill Bhuvan, but the latter escapes. Karuppayya finds Bhuvan a better suitor than Pandi and fixes the marriage of Meena and Bhuvan. Pandi also fixes his marriage with Meena on the same date. In the chaos that follows, Bhuvan confronts Pandi in a duel and almost defeats him, but hesitates from doing so because he has grown to love and respect Pandi. He gives Pandi a gun and asks him to shoot him if he cannot see him as a brother. Realizing his mistakes, Pandi surrenders to the police and promises to return as a better man, while giving his blessing to Bhuvan and Meena. ==Cast==
