Veera who is bought up as a male chauvinist by his uncle Ratnam is seeking a bride with his own preconceived set of conditions. Examples include a bride who is less educated than him (he finished up to 8th Grade), has long hair, is silent and obedient and does not plan to have a career as she has to devote her life to her husband. However, he unexpectedly ends up marrying Keerthi who is the polar opposite of his expectations. Keerthi is a wrestler who has anger issues, short hair and is a University graduate. She refuses to marry because she wants to focus on her career as a wrestling champion, however, her father had a heart attack and wants her to get married. Her uncle Ganesan arranged her marriage to him and told her to lie about herself and pretend to adjust to Veera's type- hence she has to wear hair extensions and control her anger. She only accepted Veera's marriage proposal because he refuses to do a dowry. Within a few months, she had to deal with Veera and his misogyny, however, when Veera was going to get killed by Dass over a political disagreement, Keerthi has shown her true colours and saved his life. This makes Veera scared of her because he is worried that she will beat him up. This also got everyone making fun of him that his wife is much stronger and 'manlier' than him. Sattam, the family lawyer, showed Veera the real truth about Keerthi. This made Veera fearfully respect Keerthi. This event has made Keerthi replace Veera in his job, which Keerthi refuses to join. When Ratnam returned to prison, he disrespected Keerthi because he thinks she is inferior to him, and Keerthi slapped him. Veera found out and slapped her and kicked her out of the house, which Keerthi said she knew that Veera does not respect her.Keerthi returned home and her father made her sign up for the wrestling competition internationally, to which she refuses to apply. To make matters worse, Ratnam and Sattam decided to file a divorce under Veera's name (which Veera does not know) through a letter. This made Keerthi take up wrestling. When Veera realised that she has signed up for wrestling, he cried to his uncles and said that he needs to beat up a fight against her (after Dass refuses to fight him because of Keerthi) to gain his masculinity. His uncle convinced the association to have a separate competition for Veera and Keerthi to have a wrestling match. Lokesh, Keerthi's new coach who lusts after her, made this happen because of business purposes. Veera got trained by Kodangi, who is a traditional wrestler. He refused to train him initially because he wanted to be prepared for the match in 15 days, but Veera lied saying he is doing this for his wife- which Kodangi agreed to help because he is a widower. He trained well.The day before, he went to meet Ratnam but instead met his aunt (Ratnam's wife) who said that he has already lost a match against his wife and said he is not a good husband. She revealed that Keerthi likes him and also her career is becoming a wrestler. His aunt admits that she is also a University graduate but she, unfortunately, chose the life of marriage because of the sake of family and she said that Keerthi and many other women had to sacrifice their careers for the sake of family and marriage. Veera realised he is not a good husband. He noticed that she has won a lot of medals. That night, he went to visit Keerthi which was interrupted by Lokesh. Lokesh lied saying that Keerthi does not want to see Veera. Upset by this he left. On the day of the match, Keerthi was sitting down stressed, and Lokesh tried to comfort her but instead assaulted her. The doctor revealed that Keerthi is pregnant, after checking her blood test (required for wrestlers to see if they are fit enough to wrestle) which she does not know about this. The doctor advises that Keerthi should not wrestle, which Lokesh refuses because he wanted the money from the attention of the spouses fighting each other. When the match was on, Keerthi fainted and went to the hospital. Veera who wanted to see her was refused by Lokesh and asked him to fight the other wrestlers, which he refuses. Veera then challenged Lokesh to the fight. During the fight, Lokesh who was winning ended up telling him that Keerthi is pregnant and he was going to continue on with the wrestling between the spouse and put him for damages for being a bad husband for a miscarriage. Veera overpowers him and wins. He did a speech that he was bought up wrong and Keerthi proved him wrong that men and women are equal and said how many women should not sacrifice their ambitions for marriage and men. He went to visit Keerthi and apologises to her. He also told her that the divorce was his uncle's idea and the couple reconciled.A year and a half time, Veera and their daughter watched Keerthi's wrestling match which she won.
