Film synopsis
A rustic Indian woman, who loves her husband immensely, decides to unite him with a sophisticated female singer, assuming that he loves her.
Plot
Madhu aka Madhavan is a successful playback singer. Chandramathi is his illiterate, rustic, coarse, betel chewing wife with a habit of spitting in inappropriate places, and they have four children. She has a clutch of equally coarse brothers and grandma. Theirs was an incompatible matrimony but still a happy one. She had in fact fallen in love with her music teacher, Madhavan, and one day, Chandramathi kissed him in public and that incident forced him to marry her. Madhu loves his wife even though they are out of sync because she has brought him luck. Madhavan and the kids tolerate her, as she even spits betel juice accidentally on others and is known in party circles as "kolambi".
Enters Lekha, a sophisticated urban model-cum-singer, an ardent lover of Madhu's music, who finds a place in the hearts of all the family members. The kids start to avoid Chandramathi as they want a stylish mummy, like Lekha. Chandra is aware of their incompatibility in the changed scenario, and attempts to improve, even trying her hand at learning English. At last, Chandramathi thinks Lekha will be the perfect wife for her husband and a good mother for her children. To unite Madhu and Lekha, she leaves home with her younger child, Kingini. This incident totally changes Madhu's life.
Chandramathi moves to her uncle's home. Even though in the end she cannot tolerate the pain of giving her husband to another woman. With the help of Chandramathi's uncle, Madhu and Lekha plan to take her back to the children and Madhu. In the end, she enters Madhu and Lekha's wedding ceremony and cries off. It is revealed that everything was based on a plan and Madhu loves his wife a lot. Finally, he marries Chandramathi once again.
