Plot
Ravi (Murali) and Gopi (Vivek) are two graduates who come to Chennai in search of jobs. They stay in Sengalvarayan`s house (Vadivelu), which is owned by Manickam (Livingston), an auto driver. Manickam`s wife has two rich sisters Meena (Meena) and Geetha (Vindhya). Their brother Krishnamurthy (Rajeev) is an MLA. They give Rs.1.5 lakhs to a politician and wait for a job in a college. The two sisters who had rejected a number of proposals earlier fall in love with Ravi and Gopi as Sengalvarayan convinces them that both of them are professors in college. Krishnamurthy's plans to get his sisters married to the two sons of the education minister go awry. But finally Krishnamurthy agrees to his sisters` suitors. But after the wedding, Krishnamurthy and the girls are shocked to know that Murali and Gopi are unemployed. The girls refuse to go with their husbands and the problems begin. How the two takes a vow to win back their wives forms the rest of the story.

Reception
Chennai Online wrote "[..] V. Sekar seems to have exhausted all his issues, his recent films have been a hotchpotch of incidents and characters, neither message-oriented nor entertaining".[2] Sify wrote "V. Sekhar?s storytelling technique and the technical aspects of the film are archaic. The problem with this film is that Murali and Vivek looks too old to be graduates out of college looking out for jobs! As for Meena she has not only aged but is willing to do any role opposite some hero. Is she that desperate? Vadivelu is too loud and S.A.Rajkumar?s music is repetitive. The only saving grace is Vivek and his one-liners".[3]
