A mild-mannered, innocent, gullible and timid man named Umanath causes amusement when he comes to work in a business because his mustache bears a decent resemblance to that of Adolf Hitler. His wife tells him more about Hitler after he tells her of the comparisons, and inspired by Hitler’s charisma and dynamism, he begins to become a leader of sorts among the workplace by adopting an attitude similar to Hitler’s, and becomes so confident and powerful in the workplace that he begins to miss sleep and neglect his wife and daughter.

In order to get revenge against her now distant father, Umanath’s daughter marries a young man who considers Umanath his enemy. Umanath, still proud of his endeavors as leader of the workplace, is troubled by this, and eventually as he discovers the true horrors that Hitler has done, regrets emulating him and tosses away his Hitler persona in order to make amends with his family.

Soundtrack was composed by M. S. Viswanathan and lyrics for all songs written by Kannadasan.^[3]
