==Plot==

Gopalan ([[M. G. Soman]]) is a local owner of a cane wholesale business as he purchases the canes from workers and sells them for a high price. But he is a dishonest person as he smuggles in sandalwood too, between cane business. Varuthunni ([[Madhu (actor)|Madhu]]) is the chief of workers and they believe Gopalan. Varuthunni's adopted son is Ramu ([[Kamal Haasan]]) and he is in love with Sreedevi, ([[Seema (actress)|Seema]]) daughter of Narayanan, ([[Jose Prakash]]) co-worker of Varuthunni. Annamma ([[Sheela]]) is a widow and she too likes Ramu, even though he is younger to her.

Gopalan gets caught in sandalwood smuggling, but escapes by blaming Varuthunni. The conflict between Varuthunni and Gopalan creates issues among the cane workers and most of them join hands with Varuthunni as he is an honest person. Workers decides to provide cane only to Varuthunni and not to Gopalan, which hurts Gopalan's business and his equation with his boss. In the meantime, Annamma, seduces Ramu and they became intimate.

Gopalan's team destroys Varuthunni's cane stacks and thus the issue between the two gets bigger. Sensing the danger of the situation, Gopalan decides to bump off Varuthunni, but this plan was informed to Ramu, who is down by fever by Varuthunni's friend ([[Sankaradi]]). At the same time, Annamma reveals to Ramu that she is pregnant.

Shattered, Ramu, unable to take a decision frantically goes in search of his father Varuthunni to save him from the death plot of Gopalan, but he is beaten to pulp by Gopalan's gang. He traces his father, but before he is informed of the plot, Gopalan shoots Varuthunni, but the bullet hits Ramu as he jumps in front of his father to save him.
