Ponni lives with her grandmother and they are set aside by the villagers. Bharathi, a jobless man, landed in Ponni's village. Manivanan was village chief(gounder).
In the past, Ponni was the village and she was going to marry. Before the marriage, the villagers including her father and Velusamy met an accident and many villagers lost their lives in the accident. Since that day, the villagers began to hate Ponni. Bharathi was, in fact, the lorry driver who perpetrated the accident but nobody knows about it.
Bharathi felt guilty for the accident and he is now on a quest for redemption so he wants to help Ponni.
The soundtrack was composed by Deva.[3]
