Singaram cons the Jameendar and marries his daughter Ponnarasi, whose brother Raghu, an IT professional and city slicker, is fiercely opposed to it. Singaram wastes his money in gambling and is defeated by his enemy. His enemy is killed, and Singaram is framed up in a murder case which he did not commit. He is then forced to leave the village. He comes to Chennai, turns a new leaf, and becomes a real estate tycoon overnight.
Meanwhile, Raghu, the bad brother, urged by his evil uncle, ditches his parents, who are left penniless on the street. When Singaram comes to the village and sees that the family became poor, Raghu learns that his uncle cheated his parents, and he is affected by a heart disease.

Critical reception
Sify wrote "Magane En Marumagane, is not a fun movie. It is pure mush and melodrama, and looks like director TP Gajendran has etched the story from the 60?s and 70?s family glycerine tearjerkers".[3][4]
