+Feudal drama set over two generations.
+Thangavelu (Sathyaraj), training to be a police
+officer, cannot marry Uchamma (Ranjita)
+because his grandparents reveal his past history
+as an illegitimate child. His father Nagaraja
+Cholan (Sathyaraj again), a Member of the State
+legislature, had been supported in his early
+career by the rebel political leader Manimaran
+(Manivannan), a reference to MDMK leader Vai
+Gopalswamy. Having become a successful
+politician, Nagaraja abandons the woman he is
+to marry, Thayamma (Kasturi), causing her to
+commit suicide leaving behind their illegitimate
+son. Nagaraja instead marries the princess
+Sivakami (Sujatha) who however sees through
+his evil designs. Later, the grown up son teams
+up with Manimaran and Sivakami, and
+eventually kills his father. The film was a major
+commercial success, seen as a comment on the
+Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam’s tendencies
+towards nepotism (cf. DMK Film).
