Lakshmikanthan (K. S. Ravikumar), a theater artist who is enjoying his retired life, is a happy man now as his long dream of owning a home comes true. As someone who has seen his father's struggles without having a home, he is so attached with the newly-built home and shares the same with his daughter, son, and daughter-in-law. But little does he know that his happiness will be short-lived. One day, a few goons who work for Senathipathi (Mime Gopi), a dreaded politician in the locality, paint their party symbol on Lakshmi's house wall. Upon complaining to the nearby sub-inspector Veeramuthu (Srinath), a miffed Sena uses his influence and ensures that the power supply to Lakshmi's house is cut off. Lakshmi's friends restore power supply in a far-fetched but partly enjoyable scene, and this irks Sena again. He, in return, destroys his house wall, after which both of them declare war against each other. Lakshmi is a middle-class common man who hardly has any influence, while Sena, on the other hand, is close to being chosen by his party as the MLA candidate. Whether Lakshmi and his drama troupe are able to succeed in this battle against Sena forms the rest of the story.
