Plot
Gopalsamy (K. Bhagyaraj) is a poor B.A graduate who travels to the city from his town to earn money and pay for his mother's eye operation, but he is unable to make ends meets, or even put food on the table. He meets a Brahmin priest who sells food by employing young boys whose identities he changes according to their target customers. The priest compels Gopal to change his identity, pretend to be a Brahman and sell food in the nearby agraharam. But Gopal does not want to do so, as he feels it is wrong to wear the sacred thread whilst being a non-Brahmin. In the end, though, his circumstances compel him to don the identity of a Brahman, and he sets off to perform Ganapati homam along with three other priests.
