An efficient crime thriller notable as the film which the unemployed psychotic murderer Jayaprakash cited as the inspiration for his slaughter of a large family in Madras. The claim hit the headlines and ensured the film’s boxoffice success. The plot concerns a wayward son, Kumar, of an equally wayward father. Kumar steals museum pieces with the help of a security officer. He kills a young woman (shown before the credit titles) and marries the victim’s sister, Devi (Nalini), who finds out about her husband’s criminal activities and, with the help of her brother-in-law, exposes Kumar to the police.
