Plot
Ramarajan (Paneer) lives in a village and spends most of his time by singing village folk songs himself. He meets Rekha (Sandhya), who hails from a rich family and falls in love with her. Sandhya happens to be the illegitimate daughter of a rich man Ravichandran (Village President). Post Sandhya's mother's death, Ravichandran takes Sandhya along with him which angers Ravichandran's legal wife Sulakshana and her brother Anandaraj (Vajeravelu). Paneer and Sandhya decide to elope and get married fearing opposition from Ravichandran. Paneer comes to railway station and waits for Sandhya, but she does not turn up. Paneer feels disappointed and assumes Sandhya has ditched him agreeing to marry someone of her father's choice. Paneer boards the train and leaves to Madras. However, it is shown that Ravichandran fell sick on that day and Sandhya decided to stay with her father taking care of him. Ravichandran passes away after a few days, but transfers all his wealth to Sandhya in will which angers Sulokshana and Vajeravelu.
