==Plot==
The story unfolds in a small village near Pollachi. Annamalai ([[Vijayakanth]]) leads a contended life with his wife Alamelu ([[Ambika (actress)|Ambika]]), daughter Sumathy (Ammu) and son Pichai (Vijayakanth). Annamalai, being a caring and loving father, even allows his son to change his name from Pichai to Raja when the latter is made fun of by his friends when he was very young. A respectable man in the village for his philanthropic activities, Annamalai gives enough liberties and freedom to his son, who emerges out as an agriculture graduate. All troubles begin when Raja loses money by cultivating dates in the barren land owned by his father. Meanwhile, an industrialist eyes the land for setting up chemical factory which is resisted by both the father and son. Raja comes across Radha ([[Meena (actress)|Meena]]), a music teacher, and he falls for her immediately. Raja's wedding is arranged with Radha by elders of both the families. Two days before their wedding, Raja gives up his property to Radha to bail her out of trouble, little realizing that it was a practical joke hatched by Radha to take away his land. Their wedding gets stopped. Raja vows to get back the land. Enters Chandra ([[Meera Jasmine]]) in Raja's life. She comes to know of his bad past and vows to change his heart and marry him. Eventually, it is how Raja comes up in his life and marry Chandra.
