In addition to being a businessman, the story's hero protagonist Thookudurai is a well-respected chieftain of his village Koduvilarpatti in Theni. After ten years, a festival is set to occur at the village's temple. Thookudurai's family and friends have been longing to see Thookudurai's wife and daughter. After much deliberation, Thookudurai decides to travel to Mumbai to meet them. During the journey, Thookudurai's uncles, Merit and Rosamani, are upset over Thookudurai's current life and reminisce about his life.

Past: Thookudurai used to be a happy-go-lucky man and an owner of a rice mill in his village & used violent ways to deal with problems. While chasing a few goons, he stumbled across a doctor named Niranjana, who witnesses his actions, lodges a case against him. When he saw Niranjana, he immediately falls for her and he surrenders to the police. Later, Niranjana was forced to release Thookudurai after Aavudaiyappan threatens to close her medical camp unless she pays him. After fighting the goons, Thooku Durai relocates Niranjana's camp to his rice mill. Niranjana realizes her love for Thooku Durai and she proposes to him, which he accepts after some consideration. Thookudurai and Niranjana marry and lead a happy life, but Niranjana is disturbed by Thookudurai's involvement in feuds. Soon, Niranjana gets pregnant and is accepted to one of the most exceptional pharmaceutical programs, which she refuses for Thookudurai.

After their daughter, Swetha, is born, Niranjana leaves out of town, after getting a promise from Thookudurai not to bring Swetha to any fights. On the way to pick up Niranjana from Railway Station, Aavudaiyappan, picks up a fight with Thookudurai. Thookudurai finds Niranjana at home, and Swetha passes out due to the fight. After rushing to the emergency ward, Swetha survives but Niranjana gets infuriated at Thookudurai and tells him to stay away from her and her daughter. Niranjana and Swetha leave the village to the city.

Present: Thookudurai tries to meet up with Niranjana at her company Niranjana Pharmaceuticals Pvt Ltd at Mumbai, but to no avail. Thookudurai later sees his daughter Swetha, who is in contention for the Junior National title. Swetha travels home when attempts are made to kill her. Thookudurai arrives in the nick of time to save her. It is then revealed that the well-known entrepreneur Gautham Veer is behind this. Gautham Veer is the owner of Skyline Exports and owns a range of multinational companies. Gautham Veer expects the same of his daughter Neha, who is slower than Swetha by milliseconds. After Gautham Veer threatens Neha that she will find no affection in him if she loses, she resorts to doping, which helps her win the race. Unfortunately, Swetha finds out, who reports it to the authorities. Fearing that her father's reputation and affection would completely vanish, Neha attempts suicide but becomes paralyzed in the process.

Gautham Veer is distraught at seeing his daughter Neha's condition and vows to have Swetha killed at any cost. After saving her, Thookudurai requests Niranjana to appoint him as Swetha's driver for the next ten days, until her competition, to which she reluctantly agrees on the condition that he does not reveal him as her father. Thookudurai enjoys being in the company of Swetha while saving her from goons on multiple occasions. Thookudurai later meets Gautham Veer and he challenges him. Unfortunately, Thookudurai is run over by a car before Swetha's competition and Thookudurai is in critical condition. Niranjana and Swetha are forced to leave for America, and Thookudurai recovers. Swetha also brings Gautham Veer's wife and Gautham Veer's daughter. Before the competition, Gautham Veer fights an already injured Thookudurai, at this point Niranjana reveals to Swetha that Thookudurai is Swetha's father. Swetha lags during the race as she has no encouragement.
