Plot

Azhagesan (Sathyaraj), a mentally ill man, is in love with his cousin Nandini (Prema), a college student. Neelakandan (Pithamagan Mahadevan), the village landlord, has a son Sekhar (Manoj K. Jayan), who is a womanizer.

Chandra, Nandini's college professor, falls in love with Nandini. He proposes to marry her and she accepts. Sekhar, who has an eye on Nandini, is humiliated and slapped by Nandini. Sekhar then kicks Nandini and her grandmother (Manorama) out of their house. Her marriage is immediately stopped and her grandmother falls ill.

Azhagesan accommodates them in his small house. Later, Nandini's grandmother dies, and Nandini is raped by Sekhar. Nandini begins to have sympathy for Sekhar, so she then aborts with Neelakandan's daughter's support. Neelakandan requests Nandini to come in his house and they can prepare for the marriage, but she refuses, and Azhagesan humiliates Neelakandan. Sekhar decides to kill Azhagesan. First, he kills Azhagesan's family friend Govinda (Delhi Ganesh). In the meantime, Neelakandan dies because of his illness. Sekhar's henchmen beat Azhagesan, and Nandini kills Sekhar.

A few years later, Nandini is released from jail and lives happily with Azhagesan.

Reception

B. Balaji rated the film 1.5 out of 5 stating that : "Azhagesan, which although a remake of Malayalam film Karumadikuttan, seems more like a rip-off of the classic 16 Vayadhinile".[5] Movies.bizhat.com said that : "The film is an unmitigated endurance test for the audience" and concluded that : "the film is an amateurish attempt and is strictly avoidable".[6]
