Kumar stalks Kumudha, a girl named Kumudhu living opposite his flat. Kumudha's father Shanmugam has sought the help of Annachi, the local boss of a wine shop, to find a solution and teach SMK a lesson. On a parallel track, another alcoholic named Balakrishnan Gopalsamy is a bank salesperson who is always under pressure from his boss Poochandi and possessive girlfriend Renu. One night, the lives of Bala and Kumar get entangled, when Bala accidentally hits a pregnant lady whilst he was drunk and Bala with the help of his friends and Renu take the pregnant lady to the hospital and learn from the doctors that the only way the doctors can save the lady is if they bring a blood donor who has the same blood type as her. They learn that only Kumar has that same blood type and search out to find him. Whilst Kumar is still arguing with Shanmugam and Annachi on whether Kumudha likes him or not and Annachi later calls Kumudha through Shanmugam's phone to ask her whether she would marry Kumar or not to which she says that she does not like Kumar and that he is just bothering her, Annachi then has his henchmen beat Kumar up.
