As the fight goes on for Durairaj and landlord, the landlord destroys the house that Durairaj built for his friends. Of this anger he tries to get revenge. How Dorai wins over the villagers and fight against injustice against the landlord and his son forms the rest of the story.Sarath Kumar as the morose lorry driver who hardly opens his mouth dominates the film with a powerhouse performance. Jayaram in a short role is lovable and is first class as the cleaner and he entertains the audience with his oneliners. But it is Meena who is loving, caring person in the whole film. Meena is super.Film also has Ramyakrishna as Vasantha who adds vim, vigour and sparkle to the film, the film also has Meena as a loving, caring person in the whole film. Even the comedy track of Ramesh Kanna and company raises a few laughs. On the downside the film is too long and the music of Sabesh Murali is rehashed from brother Devas old tunes. On the whole Paarai is a wellmade commercial film that went well with the masses. ........
