Synopsis[edit]

Kumar Kubera and Prabhakara Prabhu are former friends, business rivals and bitter enemies. They want to outdo each other in everything, especially when it comes to marrying off their daughters. Manoharan, a marriage broker brings them many good suitors for their daughters, but Kubera and Prabhu are hellbent on not letting the other's daughter get married first.

One day, Manoharan brings a Middle Eastern NRI to see Prabhu's daughter. He works in Oman, but Prabhu finds him unsuitable, assaults and insults him, his family and Manoharan. He vows to take revenge and marry off Prabhu's daughter to the most unsuitable man in the land, with conditions saying that the man should be very poor, savage and an orphan. He enlists Manoharan's help to find such a suitor and Manoharan introduces him to Mattupetti Machan, a notorious coolie in the local market. Kannappan is the rival faction leader and the two often lock horns over unloading work.
