Their parents decide their betrothal, but Meena refuses to marry as Rasappan is jobless. Rasappan challenges them to find a decent job. Rasappan's uncle advises him to become a MLA. Rasappan joins Paramasivan's political party and contests in MLA election against his uncle Velusamy. Paramasivan is cruel and decides to loot public money if Rasappan wins in his party. But Rasappan feels bad opposing his uncle and campaigns electors to vote for Velusamy instead of him. But Rasappan unexpectedly wins the election.

Release and reception
Thai Maaman was released on 16 September 1994.[2] Malini Mannath wrote in The Indian Express, "[Thai Maaman] has turned out to be an engrossing entertainer that keeps you in splits for most of the time and thoughtful and ruminating for the rest."[3] Thulasi of Kalki felt Meena was underutilised, but appreciated the film's fast pace while also appreciating cinematography in song "Amman Kovil" and editing but panned the film for too many messages.[4]
