The village head called as "Periyavar" (played by G. Srinivasan) is a lecherous and sinister man who has a lustful eye on Jothi. Amavasai ([[Goundamani]]) is Periyavar's stooge who also has a long-standing desire to marry Jothi. Periyavar frames Shanmugakani for the rape and murder of a woman social activist and gets him evicted from the village and gets Jothi married by deceit to Amavasai. He asks Amavasai and Jothi to stay with him in order to satiate his lust with Jothi. Jothi kills the village head before Amavasai and Shanmugakani can. Amavasai decides to hide it from the villagers.
