Shakthivel's family is actively seeking a bride, but he has a unique condition that his bride must earn more than he does. His family becomes increasingly frustrated with the slow progress in finding a suitable match, while his sister Gayathri urges them to find someone soon. This initial search sets the stage for future conflicts over traditional expectations and personal values.

The family arranges a meeting with Shivani, an Indo-American woman, without informing Shakthivel. During their interaction, Shivani states she won't work after marriage because she dislikes being chased for wealth, but her decision is accepted by Valliyammai, Shakthivel's mother. The family conceals Shakthivel's conditions from Shivani and presents her as earning a lucrative income to facilitate the marriage.

Shakthivel agrees to marry Shivani based on the false impression of her income, unaware of her true financial situation. During their first night, he presents a detailed plan based on their projected incomes, which irritates Shivani. This marks the start of their strained relationship as familial deception becomes evident.

Shivani remains firm, expressing her values of family over material wealth, which creates tension between them. This confrontation highlights the central conflict about honesty and financial priorities.

Shakthivel's investment in a scheme turns out to be a scam, causing his company's bankruptcy. He faces an investigation for losing critical project data, resulting in his termination from the job. This marks a significant downturn in his financial and personal stability, escalating his crisis.

Unable to recover from his losses, Shakthivel incurs the wrath of a local don and pawns Shivani's jewelry to manage mounting debts. His financial desperation deepens as he struggles to handle the consequences of his failed investments and legal troubles, straining family relationships further.

Realizing the financial crisis, Shivani takes up a job to support her family, demonstrating her resilience and commitment. This decision causes tension as it goes against her previous stance but ultimately helps stabilize the household during turbulent times.

Shakthivel confronts Arjun, his colleague, about his lost money, which leads him to Punniyakodi, a fraudster running a chit fund scam. When Punniyakodi refuses to return his money and threatens him, Shakthivel reports the crime to the police, intensifying his efforts to seek justice.

After fainting and being rescued by a sanitary worker, Shakthivel reflects on prioritizing money over relationships. Inspired by these interactions, he apologizes to his family and Shivani, acknowledging his mistakes and valuing personal bonds over material pursuits.
