Plot

The story deals with a villain, Ganngatharan (R. S. Manohar), who masquerades as a noble man in public, besides being a womaniser. He also involved in the robbing of temple sculptures. He kills his first wife (G. Sakunthala) and frames the crime on his servant Murugan (M. R. R. Vasu). He later escapes from prison and kidnaps Gangatharan's son (M. K. Muthu) and raises him as his own. Gangatharan gets remarried to Kanchana (C. R. Vijayakumari), whom Murugan kidnaps. But he releases her, when Kanchana confesses that she's bearing a child. When Gangatharan learns of his wife's pregnancy, he drives her away, she gives birth to son (played M. K. Muthu again). Years roll by and the boy raised by Murugan, Kumar, becomes a doctor. Kanchana's son Kannan grows up to become a straightforward and hardworking person. Confusion ensues as the public prosecutor's daughter falls in love with one of the sons, often mistaking Kannan for Kumar. As part of his plans to wreak vengeance, Gangatharan accuses Kumar of stealing a ring and beats him up. How the problems are solved forms the rest of the story.[1][2]

gollark: Daylight saving time: because if someone is unhappy with how their work hours line up with sunlight or something, the obvious solution is to meddle with the fabric of time itself and cause untold hundreds of issues in computer programs everywhere.
gollark: That sounds about as sensible as daylight saving time.
gollark: There are quite a lot of laws *in general*, enough that you can't practically know what they all are.
