Thiruvilaiyaadal Aarambam

Thiru is an unemployed but street-smart man who spends his days hanging out with friends. His father constantly berates him for not working, and his little brother looks down on him, while his mother remains his refuge.

Thiru meets Priya in a temple and feels an instant connection. As they talk, Thiru begins to fall in love with her.

Thiru starts pursuing Priya, using his charm and street-smart wit to win her affection. The budding romance begins despite social differences.

Guru, Priya's wealthy brother, sees Thiru with Priya and beats him up, signaling the social and familial obstacles between them. The incident shows the power imbalance at play.

Shocked by the assault, Priya attempts suicide, which forces Guru to confront the consequences of their romance. The episode intensifies the pressure on Thiru and Priya.

Thiru negotiates with Guru for a hefty sum to give up his love, and Guru grudgingly agrees. The terms are set, and Thiru takes the money with a plan to end the relationship.

Thiru takes the money home but is driven out by his father who suspects illicit gains. This rejection pushes him to rebuild his life from scratch.

Using the money, Thiru launches a business and, within months, grows into a wealthy entrepreneur. His street smarts translate into real power and success.

Priya discovers Thiru's dealings with Guru and that their romance served as collateral for the money. She ends the relationship, feeling betrayed by the means used to win her.

Thiru's empire expands and he becomes a hotshot in the business world, even surpassing Guru. Guru's schemes to stop him increasingly fail.

To derail him, Guru hires goons to kill Thiru. Thiru remains vigilant and ready to defend himself and his growing business.

On the wedding day, goons attack, but Thiru defeats them and reaches the marriage hall with the money he borrowed from Guru. He hands the money back to Guru and explains his strategy behind using love as collateral.

Thiru articulates that love was his collateral and that he risked everything to build a business. Guru, impressed by his honesty and drive, accepts him as Priya's groom.

With Guru's blessing, Priya and Thiru marry, sealing their bond after a turbulent journey. The union marks the triumph of their love and Thiru's persistence.
