Plot
Within a peaceful family garage, The Marudhachalam Murthi Automobiles, a drama is slowly but surely being formed. Indeed, Somaiya, the elder son of this small company aims and aspires to unreal perspectives. Whereas Marudhu, the younger brother behaves in a reflexive way, clearly more responsible. But contrary to all expectations, their mother sides with her first-born, blinded by her love, she supports him in everything, while making her youngest son feel guilty, ceaselessly. As if it was not enough, Somaiya became infatuated with a beautiful bitchy girl, Nalini who sees more in his money than in the beautiful eyes.
