In the past, Sundaravadanam (Sivachakravarthi) was a rich village chief whom the villagers held in high esteem. He loved his village as much as his family. Elango ([[Vignesh (actor)\|Vignesh]]), being Sundaravadanam's eldest son had a lot of responsibilities and followed in his father's footsteps. Sundaravadanam was against [[love marriage]] and only believed in [[arranged marriage]]. He believed that his family's honor came first. Elango then fell under the spell of the bubbly girl Sandhya (Varshini), the daughter of the local temple priest (Dhadha Muthukumar). Elango declared his love to Sandhya, and after initial refusal, she reciprocated. Sundaravadanam, who punished so many lovers before, found ir hard to swallow that his own son was in love. Sundaravadanam then publicly humiliated Sandhya's father. Instead of eloping, Elango decided to argue with his father to convince him to accept the marriage. Sundaravadanam and Elango's mother Kamala, shocked by the words of their son, both died of heart attacks. Elango was obliged to become the new village chief as per the village's rule. The villagers then beat up Sandhya and her father for tarnishing the image of the village. Sandhya and her father left the village, but before Sandhya left, she told Elango that her love was pure and faithful. Elango then remained single and worked hard for the good of his family and village.
