Plot


Rajarathnam is a rich man who lives with his sister Sarasu and a young house maid in Madras. Her sister arranges a marriage for him with Gayathri, a sixteen-year old who lives in Tiruchirappalli. Soon after they marry, Gayathri moves to Rajarathnam's house and realises that the family has secrets. Rajarathnam is a blue-film producer who records the bedroom scenes of himself with his wife, without her knowledge and sells it on the black market. Gayathri initially believes Rajarathnam, but later discovers that he was already married to a woman who is now insane. Ganesh, a friend of the writer Chellappa, realises this and tries to free Gayathri from the hands of Rajarathnam. But Gayathri dies in the end.
