Plot

The show introduces us to Muthu, a thug who despises the concept of love, as well as Meena, a family-centric woman who works at her parents flower-stall near their local temple.

Muthu is an alcoholic and always comes home drunk, whilst also engaging in fights as well - even arguing with his mum, who resents him for his bad past. The only two people that have some sort of love and affection for him are his father and grandmother, who raised him as a child. Meena is a family-centric girl and they live in a flat. However, they face problems with Sudhakar (the loan shark), who lusts after Meena as well as a poor financial state. Muthu and Meena always get into fights, with Meena not knowing that Muthu is Annamalai’s second son, but Muthu knows Meena and her family. This ends up with the two of them disliking each other due to their conflicts.

After Sathya (Meena’s brother) gets negatively influenced by Chiti, a local don, he ends up stealing Muthu’s bike out of envy of not getting one from his parents. He ends up going to jail but is released after Muthu withdraws the case after Meena asks him to. Sathya then speaks harshly to his father after he scolds him and kicks him out, which makes him depressed and he commits suicide by getting hit by a train, which Annamalai was driving on his final day on the job. Feeling guilty, Annamalai pays them a visit and decides to make Meena his daughter-in-law, as he sees that there’s more than what meets the eye in their situation. Amidst this all, Manoj is in love with Jeeva, who has hidden intentions as she wants Annamalai’s settlement money and wants to fly off to Canada.

On the day of the wedding, it’s revealed that Manoj has eloped with Jeeva - however, Jeeva and her friend have drained the 27 lakh from their joint account and Manoj goes into hiding out of embarrassment that he has no money and no girlfriend - leaving everyone at the wedding hall in shock. An argument ensues between Chandra and Annamalai about the wedding, Sudhakar intervenes with his own intentions and proceeds to beat Annamalai and Ravi up for intervening in his plan to marry Meena at the same wedding hall. At that moment, Muthu beats up Sudhakar in retaliation and it’s revealed that he’s Annamalai’s second son. A flashback is shown to a previous episode, where Sudhakar kidnaps Meena and Muthu saves her - Meena finds out that Muthu was the person that saved her from Sudhakar. Chandra pacifies Meena and makes her accept the marriage with Muthu to avoid shame; whilst Annamalai has Muthu agree to marry Meena after nearly falling at Muthu’s feet. Will this unfortunate couple ever fall in love?[6]
