Although initially received with some protest, the film went on to become a major hit at the box office.
Plot
Ravi (Nizhalgal Ravi) owns a small advertising agency and is the only son of Andal (Manorama) who is very possessive about her son. Ravi meets Indra (Raadhika), an open minded advocate and both fall in love. However, Andal dislikes Indra fearing that she might separate Ravi from Andal as Indra voices out against gender/social inequalities frequently. Andal disapproves their wedding plan. Ravi has no option than to let go his love for Indra. Instead, Andal arranges Ravis wedding with a nave girl Uma Maheswari (Urvashi) who hails from a village.
Ravi, although not interested in this wedding proposal with Uma, agrees for the sake of Andal. Slowly, Ravi gels well with Uma and they start leading a happy life. However, Andal feels possessive about Ravi and thinks that Uma is Ravis first priority and fears that Uma would start dominating her. So, Andal starts picking up frequent quarrels with Uma. Ravi worries that all is not well between Uma and Andal, but convinces Uma to tolerate Andals behavior. However, Uma keeps worrying.
Andal slowly starts understanding that her possessiveness towards Ravi is the only reason for all the mess at her home and decides to apologize to Uma. However, it is too late as Uma feels dejected due to continuous nagging from Andal and lack of moral support from Ravi and commits suicide. Andal gets arrested by the cops on the grounds of suspected murder. At this point, Indra comes to rescue and appears on behalf of Andal in the court. Indra discovers a letter written by Uma stating that she is going to commit suicide and argues that this is not a murder. Andal is acquitted from the case but feels guilty that she is responsible for Umas death. The movie ends with a message that mothers should not be over possessive with their sons especially post wedding.
