A lighthearted Tamil comedy-drama, Thalaivettiyan Paalayam revolves around Siddarth, a city-bred graduate who suddenly finds himself in the eccentric village of Thalaivettiyan Paalayam as the Panchayat secretary. Initially, Siddarth was resistant to the new role, but he was soon to encounter many differences between the world he knew and the rustic realities of a village.
He meets a horde of zany villagers during his round. Each one is a character with all his / her own peculiarity and problems. Siddarth chases to understand local customs and traditions and, for that matter, makes merry over the antics of the bumbling village council. He faces witlessness and cultural faux pas leading to funny situations.
