Avvai Shanmugi

A recently divorced father adopts a creative approach to maintain a close bond with his daughter by assuming the role of a nanny, allowing him to spend quality time with her while navigating the challenges of single parenthood.

In this hilarious comedy, Pandian, a dance school owner and choreographer, is granted a divorce by the court due to his busy schedule and lack of amenities in their small house. His daughter, Bharathi, longs to live with him, but the court allows Pandian to meet her only on Fridays in a public place. Desperate to be with his daughter, Pandian disguises himself as a woman, Avvai Shanmugi, and applies for a job as a servant maid to care for his granddaughter. With the help of his friend Nagesh, Pandian's makeover stays only for five hours, but he convinces Vishwanathan Iyer to hire him. As Avvai Shanmugi, Pandian uncovers thefts in the household and even captures the eye of Vishwanathan Iyer, who falls in love with him. However, Pandian's true identity is eventually revealed, and he must navigate a series of comedic misadventures to win back his daughter and his ex-wife, Janaki.
