Plot

Saravanan lives in Ooty and runs a business that gathers people for politicians and events. One day, he meets Maya and falls for her. However, "RDX" Rajasekhar, a police inspector, also loves her. Saravanan convinces Rajasekhar not to pursue Maya, saying she is too high-class. Due to several mishaps, Rajasekhar is fired and starts working as a hotel doorman. He is shocked to find Saravanan and Maya going out together. He asks Saravanan how he made Maya fall in love with him. As Saravanan finishes his story, it reveals that Saravanan indirectly caused those mishaps that led to Rajasekhar's firing. Enraged, Rajasekhar hires Kumaran, a specialist in break-ups. Kumaran then sends a woman who makes Maya break up with Saravanan.

Dejected, Saravanan becomes drunk and falls unconscious. Kumaran, who is also at the bar, drops Saravanan off at his house. Saravanan's mother, Thulasi, ashamed of his behaviour, sends him to meet his father, Aalavanthan, and younger brother, Shakthi, in Madurai. There, they meet Aalavanthan and rejoin him. They discover that Kumaran is also the son of Aalavanthan's ex-lover.

Aalavanthan reveals to his sons that they have three aunts: Periya Ponnu, Nadu Ponnu, and Chinna Ponnu. Aalavanthan wants his sons to marry the daughters of their aunts so that their families can reunite once and for all. A reluctant Saravanan helps his brothers and father attend a temple function in disguise to kidnap and marry their cousins, but they kidnap their aunts. They run away before getting caught. Saravanan agrees to the plan after discovering that Periya Ponnu's daughter is Maya.

Periya Ponnu believes Pasupathy, the MLA and ex-servant of Aalavanthan's family, committed the kidnapping. Periya Ponnu decides to run against him in the next election. Pasupathy sends men to kill the aunts, but the brothers save them, disguised as police officers. Using this disguise, the trio gains access to their aunts' house. There, their uncles help facilitate the brothers' affection for their daughters. The trio succeeds in gaining the daughters' love.

Pasupathy provokes Periya Ponnu by wagering that if he loses to her, he will work at her home as a servant, but if she loses, her daughter Maya will marry his son. Using his knowledge of politics, Saravanan helps his aunt gain popularity. However, a few days before the elections, the aunts find out that Saravanan's father is their estranged brother Aalavanthan, whom they believe killed their father. Their hatred towards Aalavanthan results in them getting Saravanan and his brothers arrested.

His sisters' harsh words hurt Aalavanthan who suffers a heart attack and becomes hospitalised. While Saravanan and his brothers are in jail, his aunt loses popularity due to Pasupathy's devious manipulation. Saravanan calls Rajasekhar, who bails out the brothers and exposes Pasupathy's dirty tricks. To avoid defeat, Pasupathy tries to bribe people to vote for him, but Saravanan and Kumaran foil his plan, giving Periya Ponnu the edge. Pasupathy arrives at the home to kill the family and take Maya, but Maya has already escaped to elope with Saravanan. Saravanan, though, insists they go back. A furious Pasupathy reveals that he was the one who killed Aalavanthan's father, and framed Aalavanthan. He attacks Periya Ponnu just as Maya and Saravanan return. Saravanan fights Pasupathy and his son. At last, when Pasupathy goes to get his men, he finds that all the men assembled are Saravanan's gang members, which defeats him. The family reunites and celebrates the three brothers' weddings with their cousins.
