== Plot ==<br />
Robert was an orphan child living on the street. He was adopted by a poor couple who had one child and grew up working in his adoptive father's carpentry workshop. Many years later, Robert became a carpenter who makes coffins in [[Nagercoil]] and works hard to support his family. His adoptive father has died; his brother Peter studies in [[Chennai]]; and Robert lives with his adoptive mother Mary. After passing the higher secondary examination, Peter returns home to his family.<br />
<br />
In [[Nagercoil]], Peter meets his childhood friend Stella, who is also studying in Chennai. They slowly fall in love with each other. Stella has a brother, Amirtharajah, a wicked man who does not hesitate to kill his enemies. Amirtharajah is also an influential figure and the wealthiest man in Nagercoil. When Amirtharajah realizes that his sister is in love with a boy from an underprivileged background, he and his henchmen beat up Peter. Robert helps the two lovers and explains to Amirtharajah that he would arrange their marriage at any cost. Amirtharajah then forces every wood supplier to stop selling to Robert's shop in order to prevent Robert from making coffins. However, Robert continues to challenge Amirtharajah.<br />
<br />
Amirtharajah offers to pay in exchange for leaving his sister, and Robert surprisingly accepts the deal. Peter is crazy with anger about his brother's decision and insults Robert badly, but the latter stays calm. Robert wins an auction that featured wood and pays for it with Amirtharajah's money. He then sends the wood to Amirtharajah's home to teach Amirtharajah a lesson. After the auction, Robert tells his brother that in the past, he was love with a woman named Parvathy, but her father Namboodiri refused to allow the marriage because of Robert's religion and social status, eventually killing Parvathy when Robert persisted. Robert promises his brother that he would give his life to arrange his marriage with Stella.<br />
