Plot
Suryam (Kannan in Tamil) is a playful teenage boy, in the cusp between puberty and adolescent, the son of the famous and well-to-do lawyer Perayya (Varatharajan in Tamil) and Parvathamma (Thangam in Tamil). While playing football, he meets Radha, the daughter of a well respected freedom fighter family of Simhadri (Veeramuthu in Tamil) and Seshamma (Maragatham in Tamil). At first sight both fall in love. Perayya is a modest man, but Parvathamma is a greedy woman. Parvathamma wishes to marry off Suryam to her brother Chalamayya's (Sonachalam in Tamil) and Bhadramma's (Perundevi in Tamil) daughter Bullemma (Kannamma in Tamil) and invites them to her place. Bullemma is a naïve girl and Thimaiyya (Mannar in Tamil), Bhadramma 's brother loves her. Perayya likes the simplicity of Simhadri's family and agrees on the alliance of Suryam and Radha. When Parvathamma opposes this, Perayya , in order to carry on with the wedding, lies to her that Simhadri will present a large dowry. The wedding takes place. After the wedding, Bhadramma, who is furious that Bullemma is not the bride, instigates Parvathamma to query regarding the dowry. A scuffle takes place between the two families and Parvathamma wishes to send back Saroja to her parents place, but Suryam sides with Saroja and accepts her whole-heartedly. Meanwhile, Chalamayya wishes to leave home, but Bhadramma , who is in agony, decides to stay back and plans to create hatred between Parvathamma and Radha. In turn, Parvathamma tortures Saroja in every possible way, but Saroja fights back and keeps calm. Matters get worse when Perayya dies, but not before seeking a promise from Suryam not to disobey Parvathamma. Suryam and Radha's marriage life hits a roadblock. When coming to know that Parvathamma treats Saroja very badly, Simhadri steps in and takes Radha, who is driven away by both Parvathamma and Bhadramma, away to his place. When Suryam comes back, Parvathamma and Bhadramma lie to him that Saroja had gone to her parents place along with Simhadri, without seeking their consent. That night, Saroja tries to meet Suryam, but Parvathamma would not let Saroja in. Meanwhile, Bullemma unwittingly lets know Suryam regarding this incident and Suryam goes to Simhadri's place to explain, in order to take back Radha. Simhadri spells out to Suryam clearly that Saroja would not go to Suryam's place as long as Parvathamma is there. Taking this opportunity, Parvathamma and Bhadramma force and arrange Bullemma to be married to Suryam. Observing all this, Chalamayya and Thimaiyya attempt to abduct Bullemma, but fail. To make matters worse, Parvathamma sends a letter to Saroja informing that Suryam would remarry and restricts Saroja not to interfere in Suryam's life any more. On the engagement day, Suryam who is badly disturbed by the events, falls from the first floor of his balcony and is badly injured. Upon hearing this, Saroja rushes to Suryam's place, was stopped by Simhadri , but later consents after hearing to Radha's plea. Suryam is happy to see Saroja around, tells her not to leave him even though Parvathamma mistreats her and Saroja assures this. At this juncture, Parvathamma and Bhadramma further humiliate Simhadri to the worst, which drives him to sell his mansion to compensate with much dowry. Parvathamma tries all her best to drive Saroja away, but to no avail and she becomes violent. Saroja hides in one of the rooms, but Parvathamma tries to force open the door, when the door collapse onto Parvathamma. At the same time, Simhadri parades the dowry items from his home throughout the streets, much to the residents' dismay and reaches Suryam's place. Upon seeing all this, Bhadramma and Bullemma flee. Parvathamma realises her error on her deathbed and seeks apology from Suryam, Saroja and Simhadri then dies. Suryam and Saroja reunite and live happily.Cast
