Chidambaram, a respected real estate broker from Azhagarkulam village, lives with his five daughters—Dhanalakshmi (Dhanam), Saroja (Saro), Leelavathi (Leela), Vijayalakshmi (Viji), and Bhavani. After the death of their mother, the girls are raised with the support of their maternal uncle, Bose. Chidambaram’s daughters deeply admire him, and he is well-regarded for his integrity within the village.

Initially, Chidambaram plans to marry Saro to Bose. However, when Manickam visits to see Dhanam, things change. Manickam, who was raised by his mother Rajam along with his siblings Selvam and Nirmala, is revealed to have had an affair with a married woman named Sarala. Eventually, the families agree to marry Manickam to Saro and Bose to Dhanam. The two couples marry—Dhanam remains in Azhagarkulam, while Saro moves to Chennai with Manickam.

On their wedding night, Manickam deceitfully visits Sarala. When her husband unexpectedly returns home, Manickam escapes in a hurry, accidentally leaving behind a ring gifted to him by his long-time mentor, Sivasamy. Sarala lies to her husband Ramachandran, claiming she gifted him the ring. Later, Sivasamy sees the ring and suspects something is wrong. He eventually discovers Manickam's affair and, disappointed, removes him from his business—leaving Manickam jobless. Rajam blames Saro’s horoscope for his downfall and begins to mistreat her.

Though Manickam loves Saro, he neither defends her nor allows anyone else to intervene. Only Selvam shows genuine concern for her. With the help of a hired astrologer, Selvam convinces Rajam and Manickam that Rajam’s life is in danger if she continues to live with her son. Believing this, Manickam and Saro move to a compound house, though he continues to visit Rajam often.

Meanwhile, Selvam and Leela fall in love. Manickam frequently clashes with Ramesh, Sivasamy’s son. Seeking revenge, Ramesh pretends to love Nirmala, only to humiliate her later. When Rajam and Manickam confront Sivasamy’s family, they are insulted. This ignites a long-standing feud between the two families.

Viji, the most impulsive and self-centered of the sisters, begins a relationship with Elango, a married man who hides the truth about his marital status. Ignoring Leela’s warnings, Viji falls for him and later marries him—only to discover his deceit. During a Diwali visit, Rajam insults Bose, prompting Dhanam to respond angrily. Rajam leaves the house with her family, abandoning Saro, who stays with her sisters in Azhagarkulam. The sisters eventually learn of Viji’s affair. After confronting Elango’s wife, Viji ends the relationship. Enraged, Elango tries to kill Viji, but she stabs him in self-defense. His wife clears Viji of any wrongdoing.

Viji then moves to Chennai to live with Saro. Selvam and Leela's relationship is discovered by Manickam and Saro, but Rajam disapproves and threatens suicide. Leela’s marriage is arranged with another man, but Rajam sabotages it by revealing Leela’s past. Eventually, Saro arranges her marriage to Ravi, a seemingly kind businessman. However, Leela later discovers that Ravi is mentally unstable, abusive, and was previously married to a woman named Sumathi.
