Plot
In Tamil Nadu, in the 1960s...
Upon return from a particularly dangerous but successful mission abroad, Ramu (MGR), the secret agent 115 of Intelligence Bureau receives the results of his investigations.
The suspects' list is handed to him.
A very rich family is in the line of fire.
It is suspected that someone there resells classified information of National Security.
To begin with eccentric Dhanabal Muthaliar (K. D. Santhanam) and his son Nambhirajan (S. A. Ashokan), the more enigmatic!
Ramu is sent to infiltrate the family.
On the spot, in the hotel where he came down, he thwarts the muscular welcoming committee which waited for him.
Somewhere else, at the same moment, a young woman is bored, thinking of Ramu.
It is about his younger sister, Parvathi (Bathmani).
Although their mother, a blind person, comforts her, the young woman cannot admit the real reasons of her sorrow, at least at the moment...
Full of unsettling questions for all, the mystery is only thickening...
