Rasaiya (Prabhu Deva) lives with his grandfather, Rathnavel (Vijayakumar), a kind-hearted and honest man in a small town in rural Southern India. Rathnavel is very easy-going and permits Rasaiya in indulge in all kinds of precocious activities. When young and beautiful Anitha (Roja) comes to stay for a few days with Rathnavel, both Rasaiya and she fall in love with each other, and would like to get married. But Rasaiya is unable to assert himself, and Anitha 's marriage is arranged with a U.S. settled groom. Rathnavel would like to present a decent dowry for Anitha, which includes a priceless diamond necklace. Unable to bear his separation from his sweetheart, Rasaiya decides to tell Rathnavel about this, but before he could do so, he finds out that his biological mother, Madhavi (Radhika), is still alive, but will not have anything to do with him. Watch what happens when Rasaiya finally meets her and finds out the secret why she abandoned him in his childhood.

The film has hit music scored by Ilaiyaraaja with lyrics by Vaali which features songs like "Masthana Masthana" and "Kadhal Vaanile". The audio was released under the label of Time Magnetics.[4][5]
