Sattanathan has vowed that he will win a case against Ramaswamy at least once in his lifetime, for which he even makes his son Saravanan study law, so that if not him at least his son will defeat Ramaswamy. But contrary to Sattanathan's expectation, Saravanan falls in love with Ramaswamy's daughter Devi. Helping them in their love is Ramesh, Ramaswamy's nephew.

Reception
A critic from Film World wrote, "Anbe Aaruyirey could have been a fine comedy if Sivaji didn't work in it and the script had avoided vulgar scenes. It was quite painful to watch Sivaji making faces and behaving like Rishi Kapoor. For most part the camera concentrated on Manjula's inadequate bosom and her navel". Kanthan of Kalki said Tirulokchandar did not utilise his direction and writing well.
