Plot

Azaghar, Paraman and Kaasi are part of a set of five close friends, who are unemployed and pass their time drinking liquor and fooling around in the streets opposite the house of an ex-councillor Somu. Kanugu is his brother. Apart from them the family consists of Somu's wife, their three children including Tulasi and Tulasi's uncle.

The five friends, particularly Paraman and Azhagu, often end up in jail due to frequent fights they land themselves in. Cops get a call from someone complaining about these friends each time they manage do something wrong. Everytime they are arrested, Kanugu and Somu bail them out immediately. In the meantime, Azhagu and Tulasi develop mutual feelings for each other. Paraman is against his friend developing feelings for a girl and Azhagu not heeding to his friends thoughts throw up quite a few funny scenes.

There are signs of things to come when Somu is not selected in a local Temple's commitee for a function. Things take a sudden turn just before intermission when Somu loses his party's councillor post and is ridiculed by his wife for being jobless. This leads Kanugu to lock himself up in a lodge and drink all day. He makes sure the the friends hear about him and come to see him. He requests them to murder the person who was choosen for councillor's post ahead of his brother. Azhagu, Paraman and Kaasi hatch a plan and execute the person almost perfectly. The first half ends here with them running away after the murder leaving a cycle behind.

The second half begins with Cops finding out that Paraman and Azhagu have commited the murder with the help of the cycle left behind by them. They surrender themselves before the court hoping that Kanugu will bail them out soon. But they come in for rude shock when they come to know through Kaasi that Somu has been selected for councillor's post and is avoiding their contact. They come to terms with reality and stay helpless in jail where they befriend a fellow inmate. He learns their situation and decides to help them. He bails them out.

The same friend who aided these guys expects a favor from them and that’s to bump off his enemy. Accomplishing this task, these guys now look out for killing Kanugu who cheated them. On their very attempts, Kanugu’s brother is deeply hurt physically. To save his life from the clutches of these buddies, Kanugu sets a trap for them that have a network of betrayal and vengeance. Rest of the story travels on these lines and also reveals the reason lying beneath Kasi’s pathetic condition.
