In the meantime, Kota Subramaniam who is in Coimbatore pressures the innocent village belle Pappu to marry him. Mayilsamy then comes across Kota Subramaniam, he beats him up and steals his money. A politician, who witnessed the scene, asks Mayilsamy to marry Pappu in exchange for money promised by the government for those who marry girls from financially weak families.

In Chennai, Mayilsamy tries to find Kota Subramaniam. The petty thief "Suitcase" Subbu who used to steal suitcases for a living is now cheating under the name of Dr John Britto, a psychiatrist doctor.

Thanks to Mayilsamy, Puppy's parents reconcile and now want Mayilsamy to marry their daughter Puppy . Puppy falls in love with Mayilsamy. In the meantime, Pappu comes to Chennai looking for her husband Mayilsamy and "Suitcase" Subbu decides to help her.

Reception

Sify wrote, "Director Selvabharathy's idea is to please the frontbenchers as the story moves ahead. There is a comedy, sex, smutty dialogues and jokes galore at politicians especially targeting Tamilnadu chief Minister O. Panneerselvam".[3] Mallini Mannath said, "Verbal and situational comedy, some of them enjoyable, is packed in. The director makes no bones about catering to the masses. Giving Sathyaraj company is Vivek, straining his voice to a crescendo, fitting in well with the director's requirements. Mumtaz, for a change, has a meaty role, and uses well the opportunity given to her".[4]
