## Plot

Moorthymama alias Mama is a state-level kabaddi player who is the son of Chennai's Assistant Commissioner of Police Sivaji Ganesan. Sivaji Ganesan is not fond of his son, constantly chiding him for his lack of interest in studies and his love for kabaddi. In contrast, his mother dotes on him, and his younger sister Meenatchi, a sharp and inquisitive schoolgirl, constantly gets Mama into trouble with their father, but nevertheless adores him.

Meanwhile, in Madurai, there is a ruthless factionalist leader Vaseegaran, who lusts after a girl named Muthuselvi and would do anything to marry her. Vaseegaran kills Dhanalakshmi's first elder brother as he rejects his offer to marry her. Then Dhanalakshmi’s second elder brother is also killed by Vaseegaran when he tries to avenge his brother's murder. Dhanalakshmi’s father is a meek person who gets horrified by Vaseegaran's acts and asks Muthuselvi to leave Madurai and lead a peaceful life at her uncle's place in the United States by giving her the necessary certificates and money. Vaseegaran catches her when she starts fleeing, because by coincidence, she gets into one of the lorries owned by him. At this juncture, Mama, who is in Madurai to play in a kabaddi tournament, rescues Muthuselvi and takes her to Chennai.

Mama takes Muthuselvi to his house and hides her in his room, unknown to his family. With the help of his friends, he arranges passport, visa, and flight tickets for Muthuselvi so that she can go to the US. Meanwhile, Vaseegaran and his father, who is the Home Minister, ask Sivaji Ganesan to search for Muthuselvi and the apparent kidnapper. When Sivaji Ganesan discovers that it is his own son who did the "crime", Mama and Muthuselvi run away and hide in the lighthouse. Muthuselvi has by now fallen in love with Mama , and has been accepted by his mother and sister. So she is reluctant to go to the US. Mama however, is adamant on sending her to the US, and he, along with his friends, get her to the airport in time for her flight before their kabaddi match against Punjab in the final of the National League.

Sivaji Ganesan, enraged that his son is a wanted criminal and yet is playing in a kabaddi match, goes to the stadium to arrest Mama . By now, Mama too has fallen in love with Muthuselvi and begins to miss her, only to spot her in the stadium during the match. Mama's lack of focus in the game is replaced by his best performance on seeing Muthuselvi, winning Tamil Nadu the championship. After winning the championship, Mama is arrested by his father, but is then stopped by Vaseegaran, who wants to fight Mama, having been incited by Muthuselvi to do so to prove his worth. Mama defeats Vaseegaran and embraces Muthuselvi, but when Vaseegaran regains consciousness and tries to kill Mama, a floodlight broken during the fight accidentally hits Vaseegaran who gets electrocuted to death.
