Plot Aarcha is the young matriarch of Mannadiar family. She hates men and her 4 brothers are her bodyguards. She has made them divorce their wives for personal whims. Because of her pampered life, she considered everyone whom she hates as inferior to her. In such a depraved egoistic life she played with Sethuraman's feeling during her college days. Through an unexpected turn of events, Sethuraman gets into her family as their family lawyer and attempts to change the power dynamics and marry Aarcha, because he once loved her whole heartedly.
