Plot
Mayandi was a brave and strong man who was respected by the villagers. He was in love with his cousin Solaiyamma and wanted to marry her, but they had nothing in common. The soft-spoken Solaiyamma was afraid of him. In the meantime, Murugesan, a city youngster, fell in love with Solaiyamma's younger sister Kasthuri. Later, Mayandi and Solaiyamma had an arranged marriage, but Solaiyamma was still afraid of Mayandi after the marriage. One night, Mayandi came drunk to his house, where he molested and brutally raped the innocent Solaiyamma. Since that night, Solaiyamma began to avoid Mayandi, and she did not talk to him any more. A few months later, Solaiyamma discovered that she was pregnant. Mayandi and Solaiyamma were unable to understand their feelings. Finally, Mayandi's adopted mother Ponnuthayi brought them back together. Unfortunately, Solaiyamma died after giving birth. Kasthuri then brings up Mayandi's baby. Mayandi, who cannot take care of the baby alone, needs a wife to bring up his baby, and he thinks that Kasthuri would be the perfect mother for his baby. Kasthuri's mother, however, refuses as she feels that Mayandi was responsible for Solaiyamma's death. Meanwhile, Murugesan compels his father Pannaiyar, a ruthless landlord, to accept for the marriage. Pannaiyar encourages Mayandi to bring back his son Murugesan, but Kasthuri stops it and clearly tells him that she can only be with Murugesan. Mayandi decides to arrange Murugesan and Kasthuri's marriage against Pannaiyar's wish. In the end, Mayandi manages to get Murugesan and Kasthuri together along with subduing Pannaiyar, but dies from his injuries.
