Plot

Kandasamy (Sathyaraj) is an illiterate man working in a textile shop with his friend Chinnasamy (Goundamani). He is married to the illiterate Alamelu (Rambha) and the couple has a son named Sakthivel (Master Kaushik). Kandasamy wants his son to study in a renowned school where the parents are required to be graduates. Saraswati (Kausalya), a young and educated woman, then starts to work in the textile shop and Kandasamy asks her to act as his child's mother. In a flashback, his father Kunguma Pottu Gounder (Sathyaraj) was a kindhearted and a rich man who helped the needy but he was illiterate and he didn't send his son to school. One day, he lost all his wealth because of his lack of education. Kunguma Pottu Gounder then died of shock but before dying, he asked his son Kandasamy to not make the same mistake as he did and begged him to send his son to school. Saraswati finally accepts to act as his child's mother and his son joins the school. Everything goes well as Kandasamy's planned until Saraswati's lover Shiva (Karan) and Kandasamy's wife Alamelu find out about the cham.

Reception
