Sendrayar's life unfolds through the diary. His wife, Deivanai, suspects him of infidelity and treats him with disdain. Sendrayar ventures into the textile business, following the advice of his college correspondent, and his spiritual guru. Deivanai's suspicions intensify when Sendrayar hires a new salesgirl, Vallimalar "Valli." After Deivanai's confrontation, Sendrayar consoles Valli and pays her salary. Impressed by Sendrayar's kindness, Valli decides to marry him, with her husband, Ganapathi, and Sendrayar's guru consenting to the union. However, Deivanai vows to destroy Sendrayar's reputation and wealth as society labels him as a womanizer. Chinthamani, manipulates her daughter, Visakashree "Visaka", into seducing Sendrayar. Entrapped, Sendrayar provides Visaka and her family with a lavish settlement. The college correspondent advises him to avoid multiple relationships and his guru also disapproves of his marriage to Visaka.
Sendrayar faces political pressure to relinquish his company's rights to an influential politician, brokered by Thamaraiselvi IAS. However, Sendrayar refuses to comply. Meanwhile, Visaka develops romantic feelings for her dance instructor, Albert, and soon marries him in a church. Sendrayar's associate, Antony witnesses the marriage but is instructed not to intervene. Months later, Visaka discovers Albert's dark past: he is a drunkard and a womanizer. Despite this, Sendrayar rescues Albert from a critical situation, where he had cheated a woman out of ₹15 lakhs. However, Albert begins to torment Visaka, exploiting her past relationship with Sendrayar. Further, he blackmails Sendrayar, demanding ₹20 crore thereby threatening to expose his past relationship with Visaka. Sendrayar orders his men, Antony, Neermegam, and Shahul, to eliminate Albert. However, he soon regrets this decision. But Sendrayar's men had pretended to kill Albert, deceiving him. Enraged, he banishes his men and so Antony and his associates, seeking revenge, kidnap Albert and murder him in the Kodaikanal forest.
The case is investigated by ACP Sengundran, who harbors a grudge against Sendrayar for a past humiliation. Sendrayar, Antony, and others are arrested, and the court delivers a verdict of 10 years' imprisonment, later commuted to life imprisonment by the High Court. Sendrayar's son, Pazhaniyappan, assumes control of his father's businesses. Thamaraiselvi manipulates Pazhaniyappan into transferring the properties to her name, promising to secure Sendrayar's release. Believing her false promises, Pazhaniyappan first transfers the properties to his name and also orders the doctor to kill his father in the hospital, fearing that Sendrayar's tarnished reputation will ruin their family's image. However, Pazhaniyappan later refuses to transfer the properties to Thamaraiselvi, enraging her. The doctor he had helped in the past, assists Sendrayar escape from the hospital. During his escape, Sendrayar discovers that Vallimalar had deceived him and Pazhaniyappan had expelled her from their home. Chinthamani and Visaka, fearing police scrutiny, force Sendrayar out of his own house. Sendrayar is struck by a speeding car, leaving him limping. With his loved ones having abandoned him, Sendrayar is reduced to a life of poverty.
Meanwhile, Sendrayar's employees - Antony, Neermegam, and Shahul apply for bail through their advocate, Kadappan. Sendrayar's men reveal to Kadappan that another car had followed them on the day of Albert's murder, and they suspect Sengundran's involvement. Kadappan's investigation leads him to Dubai Pandian, who discloses that Albert had blackmailed his wife, leading to her tragic demise, and before Dubai Pandian could kill Albert, he fell off the cliff and died. With this new evidence, Kadappan secures the release of Sendrayar and his associates, who are proven innocent of Albert's murder. ACP Sengundran is punished for tampering with evidence, resulting in his demotion to a constable. Anandan brings the mentally unstable Sendrayar to Pazhaniyappan's residence, but he refuses to accept his father, citing shame and embarrassment. Deivanai, filled with regret for misunderstanding her husband, declines to stay with Pazhaniyappan. Anandan arranges accommodation for them, hoping that Pazhaniyappan will eventually have a change of heart.
