Plot

Balu (Vignesh), Palli (Vaiyapuri), Gold (Sukran) and Kandhan (Jawahar) are good friends and small-time crooks in Ooty, they pretend to be tourist guides and then they rip off the tourists. They are often helped by the village belle Mynaa who gave them money and food. One day, Balu finds the young women Uma in a container lorry. Uma doesn't know the city, so she asks Balu to bring her to the restaurant and the hotel to stay. His three friends then follow them and they are all ejected from the restaurant and the hotel. The five eventually eat at a wedding function and sleep in the street. Afterwards, Uma seduces the four friends individually and even promises them that she will get married to them. The five spend time together and sleep in the same room. In the meantime, the police are looking for Uma.

One day, Uma faints and the doctor informs her that she is pregnant. The four friends pretend to be the father of the baby but Uma refuses to accept it. What transpires next forms the rest of the story.
