Thavathiru Sivadas Swamigal (Nassar) runs a drama troupe in which Thalaivankottai Kaliappa Bhagavathar (Siddharth) and Melachivilberi Gomathi Nayagam Pillai(Prithviraj) are his direct disciples. Gomathi is left by his father in the troupe of Swami. Kali is found by Swami during a train trip where the boy is singing and begging alms. Impressed by his singing talents, Swami takes the boy with him. Gomathi and Kaliappa have relationship like brothers. They grow up together and stage many plays where Gomathi often plays "Sthripart" - the female role and Kali plays "sidepart"- supporting characters. While Vadivambal (Vedhicka), the female member in the group falls in love with Kali, the latter loves Rangamma (Anaika Soti), the princess of the zameen. Bhairava (Ponvannan) who is another student of Swami is a popular "Rajapart" - performing main title characters of a stage play. He becomes headstrong over his acting capabilities and does not attend the rehearsals for which he gets scoldings from Swami. After a quarrel, he leaves the troupe as he could not bear the torture of Swami. Swami does not give up and conducts an audition for the main character role of Soorapadman in which Kali and Gomathi perform. Kali gets selected, which leaves Gomathi angry. The reason behind Swami's bias towards Kali is never answered clearly to Gomathi which leaves him more frustrated.

Un hommage au cinéma tamoul des années 30/40 et, aux troupes de théâtre tamoul en voie de disparition. De 1920 à 1940, un voyage dans la vie d’artistes de théâtre tamoul, à travers leur amitié, leur amour et leurs rivalités. Sans être un biopic, Vasanthabalan reconnait s'être inspiré de quelques artistes de l’époque tels que K.B. Sundarambal, ou encore de S.G. Kittappa, doyens des théâtres musicaux de Madurai, capitale culturelle de l'Etat du Tamil Nadu, en Inde.
