Director: J. Mahendran; Writer: J. Mahendran; Cast: Rajnikant, Sarath Babu, Fatafat Jayalakshmi, Shobha
Summary: Echoing Pasamalar (1961), the successful playwright and director Mahendran’s debut feature provides a low-key version of the orphaned brother and sister theme. The short- tempered Kali (Rajnikant) is a worker at a power station and possessively protects his sister Valli (Shobha). In a clash with the new engineer, Kumaran (Babu), he is fired, gets drunk and loses his hand in an accident. Encouraged by Kali’s wife Manga (Jayalakshmi), Kumaran forms a relationship with Kali’s sister and Kali eventually matures enough to realise he cannot monopolise her for ever.
