Plot

Kasi is a blind poet and talented singer who supports his family with his songs. He lives in a village in Tanjore district and has a drunkard older brother Sevalai; an abusive, crippled father Valaiyapathy; and a younger sister Lakshmi. When the local landlord and former MP Raghupathi returns to the district, he promises to help the locals. Raghupathi is known as a god in the area for his charitable work. When a specialist eye doctor arrives, he promises to pay the operation fees to restore Kasi's vision. Elated by the news, Kasi learns he must find an eye donor. His lover Kaveri, who cannot speak, offers one of her eyes. Weeks later, he receives Dinesh, the son of a powerful union minister, and his wife Radhika. Unfortunately, turns out that the "god-like" Raghupathi and Dinesh are not what they seem. Blissfully unaware of the sadness of those around him, Kasi looks forward to his operation. One morning, on the day of the operation, Lakshmi was found dead. It is revealed that she committed suicide because of Raghupathi. When Raghupathi comes to attend the funeral, Kasi explains to Raghupathi what the latter did while choking him to death.
