Plot

A senior Police officer, Ranganathan, (S. V. Ranga Rao) has a spoilt son, Raghu (Sivaji Ganesan). Ranganathan's wife (Raghu's mother) Kamakshi (P. Kannamba) is a kind-hearted lady. Raghu falls in love with Seetha (Jamuna), who is the daughter of a poor teacher, Ramanna (V. Nagaiah). Ranganathan's family and Ramanna's family are related to each other. When Seetha born, both parents agreed that she should be married to Raghu and exchanged the Nichaya Thamboolam. However, due to their status, the families had been estranged from each other. Raghu marries Seetha and begets a child. But Raghu suspects Seetha's fidelity and walks out. To complicate matters further, Raghu is charged with the murder of his friend Pattusamy (M. N. Nambiar).
