Plot[edit | edit source]
Aanachandam is about Krishna Prasad who is crazy about elephants. When he was a ten-year-old, his father had taken him to the village temple to attend a festival. An elephant which ran amok during the festival knocked the boy over, placed its front foot on the lad's chest, but then spared him.
His love for elephants started on that day. He started studying about elephants and their habits. Due to his preoccupation with learning about elephants, his regular education suffers, upsetting his family. He failed in several jobs in which elephants had a role to play. Debts began to mount. It is at this juncture that Gowri and her mother come to stay with him. He gives them shelter.
Anirudhan is the very opposite of what Krishna Prasad is. An owner of seven elephants, he has hardly any love for the animals and uses them only as a means to earn income.
