Respected in the village for his philanthropy, Annamalai gives enough liberties and freedom to his son, who becomes an agriculture graduate. All troubles begin when Raja loses money by cultivating dates in the barren land owned by his father. Meanwhile, an industrialist eyes the land for setting up chemical factory which is resisted by both the father and son. Raja comes across Radha, a music teacher, and falls for her immediately. Raja's wedding is arranged with Radha by the elders of both the families. Two days before their wedding, Raja gives up his property to Radha to bail her out of trouble, little realizing that it was a practical joke hatched by Radha to take away his land. Their wedding gets stopped. Raja vows to get back the land. Chandra enters Raja's life. She learns of his bad past and vows to change his heart and marry him.

Critical reception
Rediff.com wrote that "Mariyadhai is full of stock situations and trite dialogues but can satisfy Vijayakanth's fans".[3] The Hindu wrote, "Director Vikraman deserves to be lauded for making a Vijayakanth film with no political innuendos, and without deifying the hero".[4] Chennai Online wrote, "Overall, Vikraman has chosen a boring subject and told it with a pathetic script. The movie is so dull that it would be a futile and painful exercise to go in to detail".[5]
