Plot



Paramasivam Pillai (V. K. Ramasamy) is an unmarried Hanuman devotee that insists on his niece Uma (Kumari Padmini) and nephew Ramu (Srikanth) also remaining unmarried. Ramu is in love with Seetha (Jaya) but is too cowed by his uncle to marry her. His friend Shankar (Suruli Rajan) enters their home posing as a Hanuman devotee to try to change Paramasivam's mind. A oddball cast of characters, including drama actress Andal (Manorama), her brother Mayandi (M. R. R. Vasu), Jaya's uncle Chokkalingam (Cho Ramaswamy) and more get pulled into Shankar's plans creating comedic chaos.
