The businessmen become partners and sends their henchmen to interrogate Sathya, only for Sathya to defeat them and Subha learns of his real identity and breaksup with him. Kishore tries to expose Sathya by a written complaint from the land owner (who was the one who cheated Sathya and Sathya had masquarde as Shiva and had blackmailed him to hand over the money), but to no avail. Sathya reveals his past and his desire for money to Subha, who understands his situation. Sathya tells that he decided to mend his ways for Subha, who reconciles with him.

As planned, Sathya fakes his death with Subha and Sarathkumar as the witness, and later double-crosses Kishore, in charges of killing Shiva and Kishore gets arrested. Sathya and Subha get married. However, Sathya continues his masquerade as Shiva to rob unaccounted stocks from corrupt businessmen, without Subha's knowledge.
