Madhavan, locally known as Military, is a protective brother of five younger sisters: Ammu, Seetha, Nandhini, Kamali and Archana. Their father remarried after his first wife's death, because of that his children does not speak to him. With his second wife, he has two daughters. Ammu, the eldest of Madhavan's sisters, was raped by her widower professor. Madhavan asked Ammu to marry the professor, who was quite old. The other sisters did not know about the matter. Seetha elopes with her cousin Balasubramaniam and they later come to stay in their neighbourhood. Madhavan's enemies try to kill his brother-in-law and put the blame on Madhavan. Luckily, his brother-in-law survives and tells the truth.

Military was released on 28 February 2003.[3] Malini Mannath of Chennai Online felt "the remake fails to live up to the original" and added "while remaking it, the makers seem to have lost out on the feel of the original. It’s like they’ve just borrowed the scenes and situations, and rushed through the whole scenario. The natural flow is missing, leading to jerky narration."[4] Sify wrote the film "fails to live up to the original" and that Sathyaraj "fails to make an impression as the elder brother of five sisters".[5] Visual Dasan of Kalki wrote despite being a sentimental plot about brother and sisters, it sustains the interest till the end due to new kind of scenes and natural humour and also praised the director keeping the flashback short but felt the only negative is antics of Vinu Chakravarthy and Ponnambalam and concluded the director deserves military salute for making a film which can be watched with families.[6] IndiaInfo wrote "Except Satyaraj’s performance, the film has nothing much to rave about".[7]
