Plot

The story starts with a flashback of Chinnu on a train talking to other passengers about his life. Chinnu is a commando captain who visits a village for vacation. He tries to catch a girl, Pavunu.She rejects his offer as she is waiting for her uncle to marry. He left the village around 20 years ago, at age 7,as his father beat him for his childish mischief. Pavunu's maternal uncle is also eagerly waiting for his son to return. One day a letter for Arumuga Gounder was sent by his son, which reveals that he will arrive in 10 days and is married. On hearing the news about marriage, Pavunu tries suicide. Meanwhile, Chinnu reveals that he was his uncle and told her that he pranked for fun as a stranger. Chinnu's sister insists that Pavunu marry Chinnu. He is a military who may leave on a sudden call anytime. Chinnu resisted the plan, but the villagers compelled him to marry.

A few minutes before the ceremony information from the Army notifies Arumuga Gounder that his son had died. Chinnu appeared as a fraud among all. Later it is understood by family and village persons that he tried to do well by not disappointing the family members, as Gounder's family is poor and eagerly waiting the son's return. Pavunu is also sensitive about her uncle.

Actually Chinnu told his sister that he is not his real brother and he lied only to prevent Pavunu'suicide. Chinnu asked her to reveal this to Pavunu, but she rejected it and convinced Chinnu to keep it secret between them as Pavunu's life will be in vain if revealed. After some time things get normal and Chinnu tries to convince Pavunu.

The president of the village arranged a marriage invitation for Pavunu and Chinnu secretly to induce a view that Chinnu is compelling Pavunu to marry. The president and Chinnu already had issues on a minor matter. On hearing this, Chinnu takes it as good because he knows that even Pavunu had the idea to marry even though she is upset. One day before marriage Pavunu reveals that she cannot marry him, even though she had an affair, because she tattooed her uncle's name on her breast. Chinnu leaves the village the day before the wedding. Nearly 10 years later Chinnu returns.....
