Plot
Hero Pandiarajan comes to Chennai to work as an assistant manager in the Velvette shampoo company. In the bus he meets R Sundarrajan. Sundarrajan tricks Pandiarajan into staying awake for the entire duration of the bus's overnight travel time whereas Sundarrajan peacefully sleeps. Sundarrajan irritates him even more by saying the next time Pandiarajan takes a bus ride he should inform Sundarrajan, so that Sundarrajan can again use Pandiarajan as an unpaid guard for his belongings. Pandiarajan joins the company and to his surprise he finds Sundarrajan to be one of the Watchmen at the company. Pandiarajan takes revenge by assigning Sundarrajan to night duty for three winter months.
Pandiarajan then finds a rental house. He reduces the rent to a very low amount by convincing the house owner by telling him that he would help out in menial household tasks and work for free for a few hours in the owner's cycle repair shop.
Pandiarajan also meets Sangeetha, the heroine, who lives in the house opposite to his. He promptly falls in love with her. He tries to get the local petty shop owner Manivannan to introduce him to Sangeetha. Manivannan calls Sangeetha to the shop and introduces Pandiarajan to her. Just before he shakes her hand, he sees an old man get into an accident with his scooter. A small kid falls in front of the scooter and falls down. Pandiarajan wanting to make a good first impression, slaps the old man. But the man turns out to be the Sangeetha's father. Sangeetha understandably gets very upset and scolds Pandiarajan.
