Annamalai (Rajnikanth), and Ashok (Sarathbabu), have been best friends since childhood. Annamalai is a milkman while Ashok is the only son of a rich businessman (Radharavi). When Ashok falls in love with Geetha (Rekha), a poor girl, his father is naturally against the wedding. But Annamalai holds the wedding and earns his ire. Plotting to drive a wedge between his son and Annamalai, the businessman hints that he would like to build a hotel on Annamalai's land. Annamalai gives the land to Ashok without even accepting money for it but when Ashok's father later talks about bringing down his house, he slaps Ashok's father in anger. Ashok orders Annamalai's house to be bulldozed to the ground which drives Annamalai to challenge that he would become a bigger and more successful hotelier than Ashok. Annamalai, with all his hardwork and honesty becomes the biggest business men in the city. Annamalai's daughter and Ashok's son study in the same college and they fall in love which Annamalai is against because of the hatred that he has on Ashok.

With all goodness in heart and the old friendship in mind, Annamalai gives the house again to Ashok. Manoramma returns the house documents to Ashok at his place and Radharavi pleads for pardon. Meanwhile, Sargunam (Nizhalgal Ravi) plans to kill Ashok for money and hires an assassin (Tiger Prabhakar). Annamalai saves Ashok and they become friends again.
