Varadhu, who has just broken up with his girlfriend (who has insulted him for being a nobody), finds out that the bag has crores of cash and decides that this could be his moment to get rich. The criminals scoot away with the bag to a remote village, where they take refuge under Janardhanan ([[R. Amarendran]]), an elderly man whose family were once zamindars, along with his wife and Bala (Tejaswini). During their stay, Rathna and Bala begin an affair, and Ritchie's girlfriend Arasi ([[Pooja Devariya]]) also enters the scene. She causes a problem between Richie and his gang, causing the couple to break up. Devaraj tracks them down and in a freak accident, becomes paralyzed.
