When a long-awaited festival (Thiruvizha) is about to take place at the local Ayyanar temple, Thooku Durai’s rival, Kozhimuthu, attempts to disrupt it. However, Thooku Durai’s intimidating presence ensures the festival proceeds as planned. Meanwhile, his family and friends express their desire to reunite with his wife and daughter. After some hesitation, Thooku Durai decides to travel to Mumbai to meet them.
During his journey, Thooku Durai reflects on his past, recalling a time 10–12 years earlier when he was a carefree and aggressive rice mill owner. While pursuing a group of troublemakers, he encounters Dr. Niranjana, who witnesses his violent behavior and files a complaint against him. Despite this, Thooku Durai becomes infatuated with her and voluntarily surrenders to the police. However, Niranjana is forced to release him after threats from Aavudaiyappan, a local figure. Eventually, Thooku Durai relocates Niranjana’s medical camp to his rice mill, and the two fall in love. They marry and start a family, but Niranjana struggles with Thooku Durai’s involvement in conflicts.
After the birth of their daughter, Swetha, Niranjana makes Thooku Durai promise to keep their child away from his disputes. However, a long-standing feud with Aavudaiyappan resurfaces, leading to a confrontation that tests their family’s bond.
