==Plot==<br />
Rajasekaran ([[Sivaji Ganesan]]) is an upright businessman whose associates are involved in shady deals. During an argument over such a deal, a scuffle ensues and Rajasekharan accidentally shoots one of his associates dead. Fleeing from the police, he loses contact with his pregnant wife Sumathi ([[K. R. Vijaya]]).<br />
<br />
Many years later, Sumathi is now living with her son Shankar (also [[Sivaji Ganesan]]) in Delhi, while Rajasekaran is a rich estate owner in Kashmir. Rajasekaran's niece encounters Shankar in Delhi and recommends him to manage her uncle's estate in Kashmir. Also arriving in Kashmir for a romantic quest with a rich girl [[Sripriya]] is Guru ([[Sivaji Ganesan]]'s third role), a look-alike of Shankar, who is later also found to be his twin brother. Through Shankar, Rajasekaran finally manages to establish contact with his long-lost wife Sumathi and is overwhelmed with joy.<br />
<br />
However, before he can meet Sumathi, trouble arrives in the form of Rajasekaran's erstwhile crooked partners headed by [[M. N. Nambiar]], who are after a valuable necklace stolen from a temple in Delhi, which they believe is now in Rajasekaran's possession. The partners kidnap Sumathi and imprison and torture Rajasekaran, and it is up to Shankar and Guru to rescue and re-unite their father and mother.<br />
