Velu takes Dhanalakshmi to his house and hides her in his room, unknown to his family. He threatens MuthuPandi and rescues Dhanalakshmi and takes her to Chennai. At this juncture, Velu happens to pass by. Muthupandi catches her when she starts fleeing, because by coincidence, she gets into one of the lorries owned by him. Dhanalakshmi’s father is a meek person who gets horrified by Muthupandi’s acts and asks Dhanalakshmi to leave Madurai and lead a peaceful life at her uncle's place in the USA by giving her the necessary certificates and money. Dhanalakshmi’s second elder brother is also killed by Muthupandi when he tries to avenge his brother's murder. Muthupandi kills Dhanalakshmi's first elder brother as he rejects his offer to marry her. Meanwhile, in Madurai, there is a ruthless factionalist leader Muthupandi, who lusts after a girl named Dhanalakshmi and would do anything to marry her. Though, he was actually going to play in a kabaddi match in Madurai, unknown to his parents. One day, Velu gets sent to his relatives' marriage. In contrast, his mother dotes on him, and his younger sister Bhuvana, a sharp and inquisitive schoolgirl, constantly gets Velu into trouble with their father, but nevertheless adores him. His father, Assistant Commissioner of Police Sivasubramaniam, constantly chides him for neglecting his studies and favouring kabaddi. Saravanavelu aka Velu is a state-level kabaddi player living in Chennai.
