Plot

Annan Thampi is the story of twin brothers, Appu and Achu. Appu is a bully who always finds himself in trouble whereas Achu is a naïve mute kid. Their father Ravunni, a ballet artiste, separates them due to sibling rivalry and Appu is sent to live with relatives in Pollachi.

30 years later, Appu grows up to be a lovable thug who falls for Thenmozhi, while Achu marries Lakshmi. But soon major misunderstandings created by their enemies crop up and the brothers are baying for each other's blood. This is due to misunderstanding created by the villain Govindan, who masquerades as his friend. Eventually, they come to the realisation that others were behind their enmity. They patch up their differences and take on their foes.
