Synopsis

The story revolves around Ponni and her father, focusing on the deep love Ponni feels for her father, who is seriously ill. To take care of him, she decides to arrange her own marriage. Ponni’s mother passed away when she was young, so she has always been the main person looking after her father.

At the same time, we meet Sakthi and his family, who are well-known in their town for their devotion to the god Murugan and their beautiful chants during important events. Ponni and Sakthi are childhood friends, but they face pressure from society to marry according to tradition. Determined to make her own choice, Ponni disguises herself as a maid and joins Sakthi's household, where a mix of complicated relationships and love stories begin to unfold.

Sakthi is in love with two women, Preethi and Vennila. Eventually, he decides to marry, but things get complicated. Preethi leaves after her father insists on the dowry system, and Vennila also leaves when Sakthi admits he doesn't love her. Ponni, pushed into an unusual marriage, faces many challenges but handles them with strength, growing closer to Sakthi.

Sakthi's father, Chandrasekar, realizes Ponni’s situation and accepts her as part of the family. The family struggles with societal judgment, especially since people misunderstand Ponni because of her background and appearance.

Shivani, someone Ponni helped succeed, is incredibly grateful and becomes a key player in bringing Ponni and Sakthi together. Even though Sakthi doesn’t seem to care much at first, Shivani works behind the scenes to help Ponni find her place within the family.

The story reaches its emotional peak during a wedding celebration, where Sakthi is distracted and ends up rejecting Shivani. At the same time, Jeyalakshmi, who has to conduct the rituals alone because Ponni’s father is ill, faces her own set of difficulties. The heart of the story is about Ponni's journey to get married, overcoming societal obstacles, and finally gaining the approval of Jeyalakshmi, making for an emotionally charged and powerful ending.
