Kamaraj ( Rajesh), who believed in serving the poor and helpless in the villages instead of running after money and foreign employment. He was influenced by one of his lecturers Dr. Both of them were in love with Dharmadurai, and while Stella openly revealed her feelings for him, Subhashini kept her feelings to herself. During his college days, he was part of a group of friends that included Subhashini ( Tamannaah) and Stella ( Srushti Dange). It is then revealed that Dharmadurai is a general doctor and was the first graduate from his village, having pursued his MBBS from Madurai Medical College. When Dharmadurai's brothers find out that he and the money are missing the following morning, they begin a search for him, but give up eventually. However, unknown to him, the bag contains the chit-fund money. With this in mind, Dharmadurai takes his old clothes and bag and leaves for Madurai. One day, fed up of his antics, the brothers plot to kill him, however, Pandiyamma overhears her sons and helps Dharmadurai to escape from the outhouse in the middle of the night, advising him to leave the house for good and lead a good life far away from his brothers. The only people who sympathise with Dharmadurai are his mother Pandiyamma ( Raadhika) and his close friend Gopalaswamy ( Ganja Karuppu). The brothers lock him up partially dressed in an empty outhouse most of the time and thrash him whenever he tries to stand up to them. His antics are a constant source of embarrassment for his brothers and brother-in-law, who run a chit-fund business. He carries few clothes in a bag lying in his brother’s room, which has the chit money, and of which Dharma is not aware.Dharmadurai ( Vijay Sethupathi) is the village drunkard. However, coming to know of her sons’ evil plan, Pandiyamma helps Dharma with a blade to escape from the house. When Dharma goes about telling the villagers that his brothers would abscond with their hard earned money, they hatch a plan to bump him off with the help of their uncle (E.Ramadoss), a suspended cop. Dharma is often beaten up by his brothers and locked in the backyard. The movie opens in a remote village near Theni with Dharma Durai (Vijay Sethupathi) a chronic alcoholic who is an embarrassment for his brothers (Arul Dass, Soundarraja etc.) They run a chit business and the only soul who cares for him in his family, is his mother Pandiyamma (Radhikaa Sarath Kumar). True to the sobriquet Makkal Selvan (People’s hero), which was given to him recently, Sethupathi in the titular role, hogs the limelight with his subtle yet riveting performance.

When Vijay Sethupathi teamed up with his mentor Seenu Ramasamy for yet another realistic emotional tale ‘Dharma Durai,’ the expectations were huge.
