Plot

Rajnikanth finds himself to be an orphan. He travels from his village to Madras. There he meets Janakaraj, who gives him a job. By some magical situation, Rajni discovers himself to be a son of a dead millionaire—through Visu. Visu is the guardian of Rajni's father's trust. If Rajni wants his inheritance, he has to follow certain rules. He can get an inheritance of $30 billion if he can spend $3 million in a month. The conditions are: no contributions to charities, not to own any assets at the end of the month, and, above all, no one else must know. If Rajni fails to spend the money according to the rules, all the money will go to his father's trust which is managed by V.K.Ramasamy, "Nizhalgal" Ravi, Kitty and Raghuvaran. These four form a team of "villains". They want to spoil Rajni's efforts and get all the money for the trust and kill Visu. Rambha is Visu's daughter and she is appointed as the accountant for Rajni for 30 days.

The movie explores the basics of an economy where large amounts can be siphoned away with no clue as to the end of the tunnel. The script created quite the difference from may other staid Rajnikanth features, but proved nonetheless to be a box-office success. This movie is a remake of the 1985 U.S. Film Brewster's Millions starring Richard Pryor. In 1988, Brewster's Millions was remade in Hindi titled Maalamaal starring Naseeruddin Shah.
