Manickam's father urges the two communities to put aside their enmity and pursue peace. His plea is rejected, and he is killed by the Sura Meenavargal as a brutal reminder of the feud. This tragedy galvanizes Manickam to work toward reconciling the two sides.

Neelamagam manipulates the conflict, seeing the enmity as a lucrative means to expand his power and wealth. He capitalizes on the distrust between Manickam's and Alaiyappan's communities. The two leaders remain unaware of his true motives as tension escalates.

Manickam and Muthazhagi secretly develop feelings for each other despite the hostile environment. They exchange smiles and promises in the shadows of the village's daily life. Their romance hints at a possible bridge between the rival communities if peace can be achieved.

News of the romance reaches both sides, inflaming suspicion and resistance. Families warn against further entanglement, and cultural expectations reinforce the feud. The lovers determine to seek a peace that could unite their people.

Manickam travels to Sura Meenavargal to negotiate peace and is assaulted, leaving him seemingly dead. His condition shocks both communities and shakes the balance of power. The attempt underscores the danger of crossing the entrenched lines of loyalty.

In the chaos triggered by Manickam's supposed killing, Alaiyappan's men turn on him, and he is nearly killed. A mysterious old man intervenes and saves Alaiyappan, an act that will later reveal deeper implications. This figure becomes a catalyst for the subsequent disguise plot.

To keep the peace and observe silently, Manickam adopts a disguise and shelters with Alaiyappan. The ruse allows him to influence events from within the rival camp. Muthazhagi remains unaware that the stranger is her lover in disguise.

Muthazhagi gradually senses that the disguised man is Manickam, but she does not reveal this to anyone. Her loyalty to both love and peace creates a delicate tension in the story. The secret binds her to a risky commitment.

During the community boat race, the disguised Manickam chooses to ally with Sura Meenavargal and they win the race. The moment blurs the lines between enemies and allies and temporarily cements his disguise as a real partnership. The victory increases the stakes for the peace process.

Manickam's ruse is exposed, and Alaiyappan angrily orders him away from Muthazhagi. The lovers are separated by looming blood feud once again. The event tests whether peace can survive such a personal betrayal.

Neelamagam presses to marry Muthazhagi for political and financial gain, while Alaiyappan reluctantly agrees due to lack of money. Muthazhagi is reluctant and resists the forced alliance. The dynamic exposes the constraints of power and love in a divided community.

Muthazhagi is kept under guard at Neelamagam's mansion, and Manickam, in another disguise, tries to reach her but is unable to break through the fortress. The distance between lovers grows as the power struggle intensifies. The situation heightens the urgency of a peaceful resolution.

Meenvizhi, Neelamagam's wife, secretly aids Muthazhagi to escape the mansion. Her act of courage leads to her murder at the hands of Neelamagam. The tragedy marks a turning point that pushes the conflict toward final reckoning.

The local police arrest Neelamagam for murdering his wife as the truth of Meenvizhi's death comes to light. The community's violent internal power struggle is exposed to law and order. The arrest clears the path for reconciliation.

With Neelamagam's downfall, the two communities come to terms and the feud dissolves. Alaiyappan agrees to the marriage between Muthazhagi and Manickam, uniting the villages at last. The couple's union signifies the long-awaited peace and prosperity for Thirukaai Meenavargal.
