Poththaari is a former kabaddi player who is widely regarded as one of the greatest players in his village. He has two wives. His family is a large family with children and grandchildren, who live happily in the same house. From his first wife, he has two sons and one daughter and grandchildren. His eldest son is Thavamani, and his second son is Sachimuthu. His second wife is dead. The whole family lives together happily.

One day, Poththaari sends his son Kanniyan, from his second wife, to play in a kabbadi match, where he unfortunately dies. Kanniyan's wife Vijaya demands Poththaari to split his land in half, to which Poththari agrees. After that Vijaya and her son Chinnadurai cut ties with Poththaari and his family and start to live separately, which makes him sad.

A few years later, the whole village is celebrating Poththaari's 70th birthday as an auspicious occasion, where the children and grandchildren get their blessings from the elder couple. Chinnadurai seeks his blessing too and also tries to ask forgiveness to Poththaari and his family, but they do not accept it, and also his mother disagrees on him going to his grandfather's function.

One day, Poththaari's grandson Chelliah, who is a kabbadi player, gets a call from Tamil Thalaivaas coach Bhaskar, who had asked him to send his personal details. Sadagoppan, the grandson of the village president Peramaiyan gets to know of the conversation and informs it to Peramaiyan, who calls the minister to confirm that Chelliah got selected to play for the Kabbadi team Tamil Thalavalas, who will is to play in the Pro - Kabbadi tournament. The next day, Bhaskar asks him to come to The Tamil Thalaivaas office in Chennai and to get mat practice. To get mat practice, he needs to buy a mat, which would cost Rs. 3 lakh rupees, which he cannot afford. So, he asks Sadagoppan for help and he arranges a financier to get Chelliah a loan. When Chelliah goes to The Tamil Thalaivaas office, they inform him that Bhaskar is out-of-station. On Chelliah getting money from a financier and Sadagoppan gets hold CCTV footage and falsely blames Chelliah for receiving money to not play in the match between Arasakulam and Kalayarkovil, Poththaari and his family are not allowed to due to this.
