Raja is unemployed, carefree, and lazy, living in Thenkasi within a crowded extended family. Paramasivam, a wealthy and respected retired IAS officer, often looks down on him and leaves him out of daily prayers. This tense dynamic sets the stage for Raja's ongoing battle to prove himself worthy.

Paramasivam's niece Latha, along with her husband and daughter, moves from Kolkata to stay for a short while. Raja observes her world with curiosity and begins to try understanding her. He discovers that Ramesh is drawn to Latha, sparking a quiet race between the brothers.

Raja sets out to prove himself by aiming to become a collector and by mastering English, hoping to earn respect. Yet his lack of formal education and Ramesh's interference block these ambitions, forcing him to confront his own limitations. The struggle marks the first outward steps of his self-improvement.

Raja believes Latha loves the sapota treat as a gesture of care, but Latha hates the fruit and is allergic. The misstep creates a painful rift in their budding friendship and deepens Paramasivam's disapproval. Raja's confidence falters as his plan backfires.

In a turning moment, Latha reassures Raja that wealth or education should not define love. She emphasizes that earnest effort and true care matter more than tokens or status. This moment becomes the spark that pushes Raja toward real, steady hard work.

Raja lands a job at a metal factory and works long hours at dangerous tasks. His dedication earns the respect and pride of the workers, whom Paramasivam overhears praising. This public display of growth convinces Paramasivam that Raja has earned his change rather than borrowed status.

At Latha's 23rd birthday party, Ramesh presents a costly laptop while Raja, ashamed, hides a plain, inexpensive gift. Latha asks to try on the outfit immediately, underscoring that sincerity matters more than wealth. Paramasivam begins to realize that Raja's transformation is real.

Paramasivam quietly proposes that Raja marry Latha, hoping to cement the family’s future around Raja's growth. Raja declines, insisting that he must be valued for who he is, not for wealth or status. The tension escalates when Paramasivam angrily threatens to cut Raja out of the inheritance, prompting Raja to leave home.

Facing rejection, Raja chooses to leave the family and continue his labor at the factory. He sinks into work, determined to prove his worth beyond social standing. The departure marks a crucial test of his resolve and commitment.

Ramesh confronts Raja, admitting that Latha is in love with him. Raja answers that love must be mutual and freely given, showing humility rather than pride. The moment starts to shift the brothers' relationship toward reconciliation.

Raja and Ramesh reconcile, and Paramasivam, overhearing their exchange, feels a pang of guilt. He ultimately welcomes Raja back into the family, recognizing the genuine growth he has shown. The household enters a new, more hopeful dynamic.

With reconciliation, Raja earns acceptance based on earned respect rather than status. He continues his honest labor and personal growth, strengthening the family bond. The film closes with a sense of pride and renewed ties between Raja and Paramasivam.
