Plot

[edit]

Deva and Bharathi are deeply in love but encounter opposition from Bharathi's father Gandhidasan, the head of the village. Gandhidasan believes that Deva is not a suitable suitor due to his perceived reputation throughout the village. Although the son of the well-to-do Raasathi, it comes to light that Gandhidasan's disapproval stems from his relationship with his brother Rajadurai aka Periyavar, who is seemingly apathetic and lackadaisical. The film ends happily with Gandhidasan recognising that his now son-in-law Deva is actually a really upstanding citizen in the village. Deva and Bharathi overcome all problems and live their lives happily married.
