Years later, Hari (Kalaiyarasan) is in a long-term relationship with a college girl named Gayathri (Sai Dhanshika), while a demure girl named Revathi (Srushti Dange) pines for Easwaran (Prasanna), who ignores her as he fears that something bad will happen to her. The heroes make a dangerous enemy in the form of a local mayor's son, whom they beat up and break his hands for harassing Hari's sister. Meanwhile, Easwaran accepts Revathi due to Hari's efforts. Just when everything seems to be going fine, Revathi's father sees them together while they are returning from a short outing.
The next day, Revathi leaves for her native with her father and informs Easwaran that she will be back in four days. Both plan to take their relationship to the next level by making the elders of the family (Hari's father and Revathi's father) meet and arrange their wedding, but when they come four days later, Revathi is married off to someone else and seems to be happy. Easwaran is heartbroken. Hari, on the other hand, is infuriated and drinks to his fullest, which irks Gayathri and makes her leave angrily. The mayor's son demands from his mother that he wants Easwaran dead, to which she agrees.
In the meantime, Gayathri's grandfather is adamant that he wants to see Gayathri engaged to her uncle before his health worsens. The family arranges for the engagement the next day, and the marriage is fixed a month later. Gayathri is worried about her love and informs Hari about the engagement. Gayathri elopes with Hari, and they marry the next day in a temple. Her family starts searching for her. On their first night, they get a call, and they rush to Gayathri's home. Her mother has committed suicide, and the family members do not allow Gayathri to see her mother even for one last time. Her father pushes her outside, and she hits her head on the gate and dies. An unconscious Gayathri sees her uncle and his men beating and killing Hari. While this is happening, Easwaran is on the way to Gayatri's house. He encounters the mayor's henchmen and escapes from them. He then arrives to see that both Hari and Gayathri are dead. The film ends with Easwaran being killed by the mayor's brother.
