A family tragedy brings matters to a head, forcing Rajasekar to reevaluate his priorities. Padmavathi grows closer to Kannan and Chellakili as Rajasekar continues to take a strict stand with his son.

Rajasekar is perturbed as he once knew Padmavathi before his marriage.

Padmavathi ( Sujatha), a labour relations officer, is called in to mediate. Father and son clash when the workers agitate for better conditions. Pakkiri ( Vijay Krishnaraj (alias) R Krishnan), a fellow worker at the factory who's looking to stir up trouble, senses Kannan's desperation and convinces him to join the union. He and Chellakili marry and move out with the help of family friend, Ponnambalam ( Visu).ДЄlthough he left the family home, Kannan is still desperate for his father's love and approval. Unlike Manju, Kannan chooses love despite his father's displeasure at his actions. Kannan's own love affair with the maid, Chellakili ( Rohini) comes to light when she becomes pregnant. However, Manju is too intimidated to go against her strict father and sacrifices her love to marry Kumar. When Rajasekar arranges Manju's marriage to Kumar ( Vijayakumar), Kannan objects. Kannan learns that Manju is in love with fellow college student Ramesh ( Pandiyan) and is supportive. She showers him with affection and tries to bridge the divide between father and son. Dhanam, on the other hand, appreciates that Kannan is kind, funny and considerate of others. He hopes by withholding affection, he can spur Kannan into becoming more ambitious and successful in life. Rajasekar, though he loves his son, is also bitterly disappointed in Kannan and keeps him at an emotional distance. Their middle child is the unambitious Kannan ( Pandiarajan) who couldn't succeed academically and is now working as a laborer in his father's factory. Their youngest, Manju ( Ilavarasi), is a brilliant college student aiming to become a doctor. Their oldest son, Ravi, is a Collector and married to, Rajyalakshmi, a successful managing director of a company. Rich industrialist Rajasekar ( Sivaji Ganesan) is a loving husband to Dhanam ( Padmini) and father to three children.
