+Based on a Madurai folk narrative, the
+melodrama claims to address the downside of
+marriages arranged in the cradle, but actually
+solicits our sympathy and understanding for
+callously brutish men. The crude drunkard
+Mayandi (Rajkiran) marries and rapes his
+fearful young niece Cholaiamma (Meena),
+making her pregnant. The girl eventually
+realises that Mayandi is a nice man whom she
+should have loved all along, but it is too late
+and she dies in childbirth. Undeterred,
+Mayandi then turns his attentions to
+Choliamma’s sister Kasturi (Preetha) and,
+recognising that only truly brutish men are
+irresistible, she challenges him to try and take
+her away from the man who loves her. The
+latter, in contrast to the sterling masculine
+qualities of Mayandi, is represented as a
+weakling who actually loves Kasturi. Mayandi
+eventually realises that he has to curb his
+notions of ‘masculinity’. Unfortunately, he
+pays the price for this change of heart and he
+dies in the arduous process of helping Kasturi
+to get together with her beloved weakling,
+whereupon Kasturi adopts her sister’s
+orphaned child.
