Since that day, the doctor Lakshmi took care of him. She didn't know about him so she named him Kannan. Inspector Sarath (R. Sarathkumar) investigated on the Lakshmi's aunt murder and Kannan's past.

Sarath then found a photo of Kannan and Lakshmi, he went to the photo's store to know the truth. A third person was involved in this affair. Sarath found him and the man revealed the truth. The man, Ravi, was in love with Vani (Kutty Padmini). Her father arranged a marriage to Vani, so Ravi did some photo-trick to stop the wedding. He produced a photo showing Vani's fiancé with a woman in wedding attire, the woman's photo was taken from a marriage mediator. The marriage was finally cancelled, therefore, Ravi and Vani got married. The inspector went to Vani's fiancé house, met his uncle who revealed that Raja has disappeared and he told him everything. Raja was a son of a pious small family and he worked for a company in the nearby town. A family came, saw Raja's sister and agreed to marry her. To pay the bride price, Raja accepted to marry Vani. A photo somehow came to the knowledge of Raja's sister's groom side and they stopped the marriage proposal. Raja's mother and sister committed suicide thinking that Raja has backstabbed them by marrying a woman.

Reception

The Indian Express wrote "Kalaivanan Kannadasan directing his first film, has to answer for a sloppy script [..] but the good beginning and end perhaps mean that he has just made a beginning and this is not the end".[6]
