==Plot==

Aravind ([[Ramesh Aravind]]) is a successful businessman. His brother Murali ([[Achamillai Gopi]]) became a drunkard after his wife divorced him. So his father Krishnaswamy ([[Sethu Vinayagam]]) felt guilty and gave Aravind total freedom to choose his future wife. Aravind falls in love with Vaani ([[Meena (actress)|Meena]]) at first sight. He proposes his wish to Vaani's father, but he declines. He has his reason for it: his elder daughter ([[Sabitha Anand]]) married a rich man, then they were separated. Aravind follows her everywhere despite being beaten and humiliated. Ganesh ([[R. Sarathkumar]]), an ex-police officer, befriends and helps Aravind. What transpires next forms the rest of the story.

==Reception==
N. Krishnaswamy of ''[[The New Indian Express]]'' gave the film a mixed review citing : "One weakness of the script is that there are stories within stories" and adding : "Debutant music director Viji has one catchy number, while the camerawork by V. Sukumar is uniformly good. Kamlesh Kumar's dialogues sparkle at places".<ref>{{cite journal|author=N.
