Pasupathy (Shiva) is a go lucky guy who wanders without any
purpose. He is living with his younger sister Kavitha (Monisha) and house maid
Senthamarai (Kovai Sarala) who is a part-time liquor seller in black market.
Pasupathy's sister is in love with his close friend Mano (Soori) which
Pasupathy is not aware. His friend indirectly tries to convey that matter to him
to which he does not understand. Pasupathy has a maternal uncle (Ilavarasu) who
is a lawyer and their care taker since their parents died. Pasupathy loses his
house to a bank on a surety crisis which involved his father. Hence he is
compelled to settle in job. Pasupathy's uncle applies for an opening in his
friend's mineral water company 'Classique' for marketing head post. He gives
many instructions about the owner Sivagurunathan (Prakash Raj) who is an ardent
devotee of Lord Murugan and who is against recommendations. Pasupathy manages
to get job by dressing in a simple Gandhian manner, faking as a Murugan devotee
and tells he follows very valuable principles written in the book of
Sivagurnathan himself which attracts Sivagurunathan.
Pasupathy one day lies to his boss that his mother got
injured and leaves to watch IPL match. There he enjoys a lot with his friends
by drinking, screaming, cheering etc. which unexpectedly is seen by
Sivagurunathan as he was present on his friend's invite for a business purpose.
Sivagurunathan is furious on Pasupathy's behavior and he captures his
activities in his mobile. Next day he issues termination order to Pasupathy. To
secure his job Pasupathy lies that Sivagurunathan has actually seen his identical
twin brother Ganguly Kandhan who is a Karate master. The difference between the
both of them is that, his brother has blue eyes unlike his. Sivagurunathan
believes him half minded and yet gives him his job again.
Sivagurunathan has a daughter Janani (Isha Talwar) who
learns everything half baked. Her interest turns to learning self-defense
skills and tells her father to appoint a master to teach Karate. Sivagurunathan
calls Pasupathy to send his brother for Karate coaching. Pasupathy wears blue
contact lens and visits his home and manages to make Sivagurunathan to believe
he is Ganguly Kandhan. Pasupathy and Janani had already met where Pasupathy
rushes to save Janani from fire but he is rescued by Janani from fire.
Pasupathy is attracted to Janani and he impresses both Janani and her maternal
grandmother (Sachu). Sivagurunathan meets a bank officer (Devadarshini) who
actually took Pasupathy's house. She tells him that Pasupathy is actually a
fraud and she has not met anyone like Ganguly Kandhan which confuses
Sivagurunathan. He appoints a CID to follow Pasupathy and find out if he has a
brother Ganguly Kandhan. Pasupathy manages to cheat the CID and make him
believe that there are two brothers. But he innocently behaves and submits his
and Kandhan's resignation letter to him telling that his mother did not want
them to work for a boss who doubts their loyalty. Sivagurunathan says that he
would apologize for his doubtful behavior to his mother which creates further
trouble for Pasupathy. He rushes home and disguises his servant maid
Senthamarai to act as his mother. Sivagurunathan believes that setup and
apologizes to Pasupathy's mother.
Janani falls for Ganguly Kandhan and she wants him to find
if he loves her and she keeps him a test. She wants him to wish for her
birthday on the following Tuesday and she will not tell him that she is going
to Dubai. Pasupathy tries to get information from Janani's grand mother. He
goes to Sivagurunthan and tells Kandhan has gone to Dubai which furies
Sivagurunathan as he doubts that Kandhan has gone to impress his daughter.
Pasupathy pretends to say that he will go to Dubai and stop his brother and
bring back his daughter to which Sivaguru accepts. Sivaguru plans to marry off
his daughter to innocent Pasupathy against Janani's wishes. Pasupathy goes to
Dubai and both propose their love. Pasupathy's friend blackmails him to let him
marry his sister otherwise he would tell his double act to Sivaguru. Pasupathy
who had no other go arranges for their marriage. Janani comes out of home as
she does not want to marry Pasupathy but only Kandhan but she finds that both
are same and gets angry on him But he convinces her by saying all he did is for
her sake which cools her. Sivaguru misunderstands that Janani is going to marry
Kandhan and rushes to stop it but finds that Kadhan is Pasupathy himself. He
furiously chases him and Pasupathy runs. After several chases and runs
Pasupathy manages to tie the knot but he does not do so as he did not want to
marry Janani against his boss' wishes. Sivaguru changes his mind and let them
marry.
