Karthik is a violent college student who madly loves his classmate Priya. In contrast to him is his lookalike Chinna, alias Prem Kumar, a kindhearted village youth with a hunchback who is lauded for selfless service to others. He covers up his disability with humor and optimism. Unmindful of his looks, Chinna goes around looking for a suitable bride with the help of his friend Kuzhandhaisamy, a marriage assembler. Brushing aside many insults hurled at him, he carries on with his life. One day, Priya meets Chinna, who assures her that he will get her married to Karthik for sure.
Priya and Karthik plan to elope with Chinna’s help, as her father, DCP Nair, rejects Karthik. However, she is killed in a fracas by Varadhan, a gangster, as revenge against Priya’s father, DCP Nair, who arrested and assaulted him. She dies in Karthik’s arms with Nair watching, and Nair arrests Karthik upon thinking that Karthik is responsible for Priya’s murder. Chinna pleads with Nair and tells the truth behind Priya’s murder.
Meanwhile, Chinna comes across an orphaned, poor, blind girl named Shenbagam, who is a lookalike of the dead Priya. He won over her heart by helping her out when her brother died.
After Chinna’s efforts, Shenbagam gains her vision back. It is revealed that Priya’s eyes were actually transplanted into her after her death. This results in a tussle between Chinna and Karthik as to whom Shenbagam now belongs. However, fearing his looks, Chinna decides to give way to Karthik and ends up staying in a temple, where Kuzhandhaisamy finds him and brings him to Shenbagam. Shenbagam does not care about Chinna’s looks and accepts him wholeheartedly. Before their marriage, Varadhan returns to seek revenge from Chinna. Karthik arrives at the nick of time, remembering Priya’s death; he seeks revenge by brutally beating and killing Varadhan. Karthik gives consent for Chinna and Shenbagam’s wedding before being arrested. The film ends with the couple spending their honeymoon in Ooty.
