A real estate developer plans to demolish Masala Café and construct a mall over there due to its prime location. Kumar misses the mobile phone containing the diamonds, which later gets into Raghu's hands.ĭharamarajan, a cunning man, is the Kumbakonam police inspector and a childhood friend of Seenu. Manickam sets fire to his jewellery showroom and tries to get the insured amount by claiming loss, although he has safely hidden precious diamonds in a mobile phone which is with his nephew Kumar. Manickam, a jewellery owner, stages a drama to get money from insurance. Seenu allows Raghu to stay with him as Raghu saves him from the moneylender 'Anjuvati Alagesan' (literally 'Five- interest Alagesan'), to whom Seenu owes money. Seenu's younger brother Raghu, a thief, gets released from prison. Slowly, Seenu and Madhavi become good friends, and love blossoms between them. Seenu requests her to give him some time so he can make his hotel gain its prominence once again. Madhavi, the new health inspector, decides to permanently shut Masala Café due to its unhygienic environment. The café's chef and his granddaughter Maya stay with Seenu. Masala Café was a famous food outlet a few decades back, but has lost its prominence later, and now Seenu finds it difficult to manage. Seenu runs the Kumbakonam-based Masala Café, inherited from his forefathers.
