Sathyamoorthy "Sathya" is an intelligent student who tops his class. He is the pride of his government school. Though he is sharp, his father Gandhi, a dhobi by profession, and his wife Kaliamma are both under the impression that they should put him in a private school to make sure he makes it big in his life. However, getting Sathya admitted to a popular private school was beyond their means of Gandhi. Nevertheless, Gandhi was willing to take loans and work overtime to get his son into a private school. The whole family — which includes Gandhi, his wife Kaliamma, and their daughter Vembu Lakshmi — work to make ends meet. Meanwhile, Sathya finds it tough to adapt to the new school where most students are from well-to-do families. At the same time, he is burdened by the fact that his entire family slogs to make him study in a costly private school. What happens then is what the film is all about.
