Plot

Kai Ezhuthu Gounder (Manivannan) and Kai Naattu Gounder (K. Prabhakaran) are the village's bigwig and best friends. While their children Raja (Arun Kumar) and Indhu (Kirthika) hate each other, they are classmates and quarrel continually. In contrast, their fathers want them to get married. Sorna (Rajashree), a dancer, comes to their village to separate the two friends. Raja and Kirthika finally fall in love with each other. Sorna seduces the two friends and creates a conflict between them. In the past, Kai Ezhuthu Gounder and Kai Naattu Gounder attempted to rape Sorna's sister but before it happened, she chose to commit suicide. Since that day, Sorna wanted to take revenge. Raja and Indhu are then distraught by their fathers. Sorna only wanted to punish Kai Ezhuthu Gounder and Kai Naattu Gounder but not the young lovers, so she comes to their rescue. What transpires later forms the crux of the story.

Cast

Production

The film marked the introduction of Arun Vijay, son of actor Vijayakumar into films. The first film Arun Kumar signed was Love Story. But as its music composer, A. R. Rahman, was very busy, producer K. Prabakaran signed him up for Murai Mappillai directed by Sundar C.[3] During the making of the film, Sundar C fell out with the makers, and the venture was finished by Anbalaya Prabhakaran.[4] Prabhu Solomon who went on to direct films like Mynaa (2010) and Kumki (2012) completed the post-production works of the film.
