Murali is an unemployed prankster that will take any bet for money regardless of any problems it may cause for those around him. He pretends to be dead and a madman for bets and this causes great distress to his parents. They would rather he get an actual job and show some responsibility. Murali becomes a rickshaw driver but is soon drawn back into his old habits. Selvam has a liquor shop and wants to marry Shanthi but her family-and Shanthi herself- is fiercely opposed to this. Her marriage is arranged with someone else. Selvam brings Murali to the wedding and bets that the latter should steal the thaali and return it before anyone notices. Murali agrees and steals the thaali but is drugged by Selvam before he can return it. The deeply superstitious groom calls off the wedding. Murali is guilt-ridden and determined to help Shanthi. Murali's parents want him to marry Kalyani. She's also interested in Murali but he's drawn to Shanthi. Murali must face off against Selvam and his parents in his quest to help Shanthi.
