In another town, Perumaal ([[Jaiganesh]]) is the father to Sangeetha ([[Suvalakshmi]]) and Gauri. Sangeetha comes to the small fishing village. Siva ([[Raghuvaran]]) is proposed (and later engaged) to marry her. However, Gauri falls in love with Siva's friend, and after hearing that Perumal does not want to accept the Hindu-Christian marriage, she decides to elope with her lover. This leads to the breakup of Sangeetha and Siluvai's love affair. However, Siva, upon hearing Siluvai's story, gives a great speech to the villagers and unites Siluvai and Sangeetha.
