After a small delay, the company announces that Muthu is the lucky winner of the first prize. (The Tractor). Muthu awaits for the arrival of his prize (tractor) and makes several arrangements. Furthermore, on the advice of other local farmers, Muthu aspires to purchase accessories for the tractor, such as ploughs, top hoods, trailers, MP3 players, and so on. Looking forward to a new future, he sells his livestock to buy all these accessories. Muthu eagerly waits for the tractor to arrive, however, the vehicle is not delivered on the scheduled day. The other farmers in the village ridicule his luck and predicament. However, one day he gets a call from the Tractor showroom and a brand new tractor arrives. A few months later, Muthu realized that this Tractor was under a bank loan and he had to clear the pending EMI amount. Muthu tries to sell his tractor, but he cannot do it as the tractor is under bank hypothecation. From then on, he began to face many hardships to pay the monthly instalments. Muthu defaulted on the last two months of the tractor loan instalments, as there were poor returns from his farm. During the following year, the harvest festival is celebrated without livestock and replaced with the tractor.
  As Muthu's family watches TV news, they hear about the confiscation of a tractor by a farmer. Muthu’s wife, Selvi decides to do away with the Tractor, so she takes the tractor to the top of the hill. Leaves the tractor there and walks home.
