Plot

Mutharasan is the grandson of a rich landlord. After his mother dies, his father Thanikachalam marries Neelambari. Mutharasan trusts and respects Neelambari not knowing that she is plotting to kill him. Meanwhile, his cousin Vennila loves him and wants to marry him. Neelambari secretly plots against him to acquire his father's property for her children; however, a clause in the will forbids her, as it says Mutharasan's wife must sign. Neelambari brings her niece Swetha to marry Muthu and supports her. Meanwhile, the ghost of Chitra (Mutharasan's dead wife) is out to spoil Neelambari's evil designs. After a few days, Neelambari and her gang find it is the spirit of Chitra who spoils their plan.

Swetha plans to marry Mutharasan by hook or by crook. She murders Vennila's mother and grandmother, after which she gets engaged to Mutharasan. Swetha's ex-husband Yuvaraj comes to stop the marriage. Swetha discovers this and plans to kill Mutharasan's father. Now Vennila, becomes too lonely as everyone who supported her is dead.

Here comes a clever character Kalai, wife of Maruthu (Neelambari's first son) who finds the power of Chitra and stands along with Vennila. Maruthu later causes an accident to kill Kalai but she slips into a coma. Chitra's mother appears to reveal the truth to Mutharasan but later gets killed by Neelambari. Later, Mutharasan takes a liking to Ruthra and adopts her. Mutharasan does not know that Ruthra is his daughter and mistakenly believes she is an orphan, though Ruthra knows it from her grandmother, Sumangali. Swetha plans to separate Ruthra and Vennila from Mutharasan. In a series of events, Mutharasan identifies the true caring nature of Vennila and how people in the house are taking advantage of her and stand beside her in all her problems.

A priest informs Mutharasan that he has a biological child born by Chitra before her death. In an attempt to know his child, he climbs the "Siddhar Malai" and gets to know that Ruthra is his daughter. When he returns, Ruthra is abducted by a family who claim that Ruthra is the daughter of Pasupathi and Chitra. Mutharasan doesn't believe this, but is attacked by them and hospitalised. In a series of events, the members who claimed Ruthra are killed by divine interventions and forces. Eventually, Vennila brings a herb from "Siddhar Malai" and cures Mutharasan's ailment. The story now moves ahead to unveil how Mutharasan finds out the true colors of his family. Neelambari fixed Mutharasan marriage with Swetha but Mutharasan married Vennila with all revenges and problems aired by Swetha and Swetha is admitted to the hospital for treatment. Now she is cured and returns to take revenge against Vennila again.
