Plot

Very disadvantaged from her birth, the unfortunate Meenatchi (Sarodja Ramanna) sees her existence darkening when she is forced to marry, by her foster mother (M. S. Sundari Bai), a simple-minded man, Murugan (MGR)! The obnoxious cruel mother so acts, to take revenge for her young brother, Manickum (S. A. Asogan), a hooligan, arrested for murder and that she wanted at all costs to marry him to the poor Meenatchi, who just refused! She ignores that she has just picked up the chance of a lifetime, nevertheless. Indeed, hiding behind this husband, ragged, quite dirty, is the billionaire Selvam, victim, some time previously, of an assassination attempt, that left him amnesic. Later, he recovers completely, but remembers Meenatchi no more and resumes his previous life, when he was betrothed to Nalini (L. Vijayalakshmi). As for Meenatchi, far from given up, is going to fight to restore the truth, which apparently, pleases hardly everybody, in particular, the sponsor of the murder, Djambulingam (M. R. Radha), Nalini's father! From his part, Selvam is going to lead its investigation, helped by good Nadharadja (K. A. Thangavelu), Nalini's elder brother...

gollark: See, it's important to download and install security patches as soon as possible to minimize the amount of time you go around with insecure software with vulnerabilities now known to everyone. But my internet connection is slow. So the solution is simple - download the software updates after release, then send them back in time to a few hours before release and apply them then.
gollark: The osmarks.tk closed timelike curve has a lot of spare capacity, we mostly use it to speed up software updates.
gollark: *Or* get access to the information you want in the future, then use the osmarks.tk closed timelike curve to send it back to now.
