Movie Info :

Shivshankar (Ajith Kumar) is bound to a wheelchair and has a son, Vishnu (also played by Kumar), who is playful, spoiled, irresponsible, and young. To teach him a lesson, Shivshankar sends Vishnu to Thottapuram to help the poor. Vishnu doesn't want to go, but the owner of a pizzeria tells him and his friends that the village is one big brothel, so they go. However, Thottampuram is really a very sacred village and the pizzeria owner wants Vishnu and his friends to be beaten up there. Also arriving in Thottapuram is Dviya (Asin Thottumkal), along with her college class. They are there for their social activity course: they want to improve hygiene in the village.

The village head wants Divya and friends to stay with poor families, instead of at the large village building, because the building is reserved for six rich guests. Divya decides to woo these six newcomers and drop them afterwards, so she and her friends can get the building.

Vishnu and his five friends arrive, are greeted by the village and start to woo Divya and the girls, whom they mistake for Thottapuram's prostitutes. When Divya finds out, they decide to teach Vishnu and his friends a lesson and ensure they leave the large building so Divya and her friends can occupy it.

A large feast is celebrated, Divya and the other girls woo Vishnu and his friends and finally lead them to the bedrooms. Vishnu's friends are injected a substance called "Monkey Blood", which makes them itch all over and they leave, screaming and scratching. Vishnu himself refuses to sleep with Divya (who desperately tries to give him the "Monkey Blood", but he evades her attempts), since he says he has committed lots of small mistakes and doesn't want to make a big one by sleeping with her. He asks her to leave her profession and Divya lies to him, saying she can't, as she has to support a family that is crippled with various diseases. Vishnu, moved, leaves.

Vishnu wants to give Divya money so she can start a new life, but Divya refuses once again, saying she doesn't need a new life, she has to restore her honour - so Vishnu agrees to marry her in the village temple. Divya doesn't believe him, but Vishnu says he will be there to marry her the next day. However, Divya doesn't come, and Vishnu and his friends see her bus leaving. The bus bears the name of the girls' college; Vishnu and his friends now know they have been tricked and the girls weren't really prostitutes.

Back at home, Shivshankar notices that Vishnua has fallen in love. He makes sure, and Vishnu and Divya get engaged.

However, during the night, Jeeva (the third role played by Ajith Kumar) turns up. He is a bank robber and deposits money under Vishnu's bed, so Vishnu is suspected to have robbed the bank. Shivshankar believes him.

Vishnu gets drunk at a party and Jeeva uses a spray to knock him out. The he drives to Divya's house to see her, however her father and brothers won't let him in. A fight ensues, where Divya's father, Vijayan, tries to shoot Jeeva, who finally drives away. Vijayan ends the engagement between his daughter and Vishnu, because of the latter's behaviour who has no idea what's going on.

Vishnu visits Divya's cousin, but Jeeva's already there, knocks him out, takes over and tries to rape her. When Shivshankar hears of this, he whips his son, who does not know what happened. They send Vishnu to a therapist, however Jeeva again takes over and stabs Shivshankar's assistant. It is revealed that Jeeva hates Shivshankar since he has left his mother (Kanika) and she has become mad because of this.

At the same time, Divya manages to sneak into Vishnu's hospital and tells him that she thinks he's innocent. She leaves and shortly afterwards, Jeeva appears, smuggles Vishnu out of the hospital, dumps him somewhere, takes over his identity and goes to kill Shivshankar. The father notices that it's not his son and gets out of his wheelchair in order to defend himself. Vishnu arrives at the scene, surprised that his father is able to walk and demands an explanation.

Shivshankar tells him that he wanted to become a dancer - however dancing is not seen as a "masculine" trait, especially by his mother, who thinks that dancing is as bad as having a disorder. She also wants Shivshankar to marry Jeeva's mother; which he does, however it's not a happy wedding, since Jeeva's mother rejects Shivshankar, as he is too demine. Shivshankar, enraged, rapes Jeeva's mother - a deed that results in a pregnancy. The doctor refuses to give a contraception to Jeeva's mother and so Jeeva is born, because Jeeva's grandmother wanted the child. Despite wanting to go back to Shivshankar, Jeeva's mother slowly goes mad.

Jeeva escapes and now threatens the wedding between Vishnu and Divya. He wants to blow up the entire ceremony, and Shivshankar tries to stop him. Finally, Jeeva's grandmother comes out of hospital, explains the entire affair and Jeeva realizes what he has done. He wants Shivshankar to shoot him, but instead of Jeeva, his father gets shot and dies.

In the end, Jeeva is taken into custody. Jeeva's mother does not accept food from anyone, until Vishnu comes dressed up as Jeeva and feeds her. It ends with stating that Shivshankar is their godfather.
