Vaanavaraayan is the village leader, adored and respected by the people. Based in his advice, they abstain from voting in the elections and instead, pool the money given by the candidates to get themselves some basic amenities. Vallavaraayan is his arch enemy.Their enmity is further sharpened when Vaanavaraayan wins the hand of Vaitheeswari, whom Vallavaraayan had also wished to wed.
