The coffee club's chef and his granddaughter Ganga stay with Sathibabu.
Madhavi, the new health inspector, decides to permanently shut down Satyanarayana Vilas Coffee Club due to its unhygienic environment. Sathibabu requests her to give him some time so he can make his hotel regain its prominence. Slowly, Sathibabu and Madhavi become good friends, and love blossoms between them.
Sathibabu's younger brother Rambabu, a thief, gets released from prison. Sathibabu allows Rambabu to stay with him as Rambabu saves him from the moneylender Anjuvatti (Five-interest) Alagesan, to whom Sathibabu owes money. Rambabu falls in love with Ganga at first sight. A jewellery owner seeks to get money from insurance. He 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. Kumar misplaces the mobile phone containing the diamonds, which later gets into Rambabu's hands.
Police Inspector Nagaraju, a cunning man, is a childhood friend of Sathibabu. A real estate developer plans to demolish Satyanarayana Vilas Coffee Club and construct a mall over there due to its prime location. But Sathibabu is unwilling to sell his property as he prefers to own it in the memory of his family members. Nagaraju assures to convince Sathibabu and make him sell the hotel and he talks a deal with the real estate developer.
