Plot

Pandithurai (Prabhu) left his mother (Manorama) and his father to live with his newlywed sister (Sumithra) and his rich brother-in-law Malaisamy (Radha Ravi).

A few years later, Pandithurai becomes an uneducated angry youth but respects Malaisamy more than anything. Malaisamy's daughter Muthulakshmi (Kushboo) who studied in the city comes back to her village. She then falls in love with Pandithurai. Malaisamy, who is respected among the villagers, has a secret relationship with Sindamani (Silk Smitha), a stage dancer. Pandithurai tries to stop their relationship but he fails and Malaisamy evicts him from his house.

The rest of the story is how Pandithurai punished his brother-in-law and married Muthulakshmi.

Reception

The Indian Express wrote "The script [..] and dialogues [..] exploit the poignant turns that are likely to be faced by a tradition-bound family in a village".[4]

gollark: Mrmola's goals are beyond the understanding of us mortal beings/
gollark: What does mola have that data for?
gollark: OH NO IT STARTED AGAIN ÅAAAAA
gollark: > Someone in charge of the Discord bots here should write or extend a bot to replace a regex match to replace 0/0 or x/0 by UNDEFINED automatically. Something like re.replace([0-9]*/ 0, UNDEFINED , string) (simplified because I am lazy) , so MrMola can no longer type 0 / 0 and it's automatically shown as UNDEFINED :- )<@520480232738652161> Bots and moderators cannot, for extremely obvious reasons, edit other people's messages.
gollark: As opposed to partial ordering, where some pairs of elements can't be ordered.
