Plot

Arjun (Shanthanu Bhagyaraj) and Shanthi (Athulya Ravi) have an arranged marriage, and their first night is about to happen. Just before that, Arjun's grandfather (K. Bhagyaraj) informs him that according to their family tradition, the husband should not touch his wife on the first night, failing which he will lose his entire wealth (worth 300 crores) to an orphanage. At much about the same time, Shanthi's aunt (Urvashi) informs her that she should make sure that she has sex the very first night because women in their family who did not do so went childless. There is also the family manager Lingusamy (Manobala) and his wife (Jangiri Madhumitha), who plot against Arjun to somehow fail his grandfather so that they can take a commission from an orphanage owner. The rest of the screenplay is whether the bride or groom won their bedroom battle.
