But, meanwhile, Senathipathi and his wife are attacked on the way home. Lingappa shoots both of them dead and starts to find Sethupathi. When he is about to, Nagappa Naickar and his son come and drag Aiswarya out to be wed. Then, Aishwarya and her mom plead for Lingappan Naicker to change his mind.

Sethupathi hands over Aishwarya and thus keeps his honour. Then, Nagappa proposes an alliance, and it is taken by Lingappan Naicker. he tries to get an alliance to Aishwarya but fails. All of this is seen by Lingappan Naicker afar. Sethu surrenders Aishwarya and is expelled from the house. he asks Sethu to either surrender Aishwarya or comes to a one-on-one till death. The next day, at the moment of marriage, Senathipathi intercepts Sethu. Aishwarya blackmails Sethu to marry her the next day or she will commit suicide. Sethu and Aishwarya try to break up, but can't. Meanwhile, to protect Aishwarya, Lingappan Naicker cleverly assigns her to live in Senathipathi's house till her marriage, so that she would be a guarded-object of Senathipathi Thevar so that his brother would be away from her. then, Nagappa Naickar can make his son marry her and get all properties of Lingappa's to himself, including canal's check-dams owned by him. he sends the photo to all of his caste's big heads so that none would wed Aishwarya. After failing to get water for the past 10 years, Nagappa Naickar gets the photos of Sethu and Aishwarya clubbing each other. Lingappa's and Nagappa's villages clash every year, to receive water from the canal during farming seasons, though justice is on Lingappan Naicker's village. Though he is rich, Nagappa Naickar has very bad habits and so does his only son. Nagappa Naickar ( Manivannan) is a long-distant relative of Lingappa and head of their rival village. But, Lingappan Naicker is totally against inter-caste marriage and sees them together. Sethupathi and Aishwarya eventually fall in love with each other. Lingappan Naicker's daughter Aishwarya ( Soundarya), a clever, beautiful and arrogant girl, returns after studying in the city.

Senathipathi has been charged for past 10 years with the duty to protect the village against the robbers, which he has done with 100% efficiency. Senathipathi Thevar and Lingappan Naicker ( Vijayakumar), another rich respected village man and their area chief, are best friends. Senathipathi Thevar ( Sathyaraj) is a rich and respected village man who is married to Meenakshi ( Sukanya), while his little brother Sethupathi ( Sathyaraj) is a good-for-nothing young man.
