The film stars Prem Nazir, Usha Nandhini, Madhu and K. P. Ummer among others. The film tells the story of a family that migrates from a village to the city of Madras in search of a better life. The theme was about the lure of the city and how the dreams of villagers are shattered by its inexorable logic of greed. The plot is similar to the 1965 film 'The Conquerors of the Golden City', directed by Getin Gurtop and the 1964 film 'Birds of Exile' ('Gurbet Kuslari' in Turkish) by Halit Refig. K.
