He is the slum dweller who lived happily with his sister, Mynah and best friend, Selvam (Vijay Kumar), and has a strong community feeling with all the families living in the slum. When a wealthy landowner, Gokul Das tries to forcibly vacate the slum and bulldoze all their homes to the ground, Jai Kumar challenges to buy the land for Rs. 2 lakhs within a week's time.
