Plot
 | This article needs an improved plot summary. (November 2022) |
Gopinath and his elder brother Sundaram Pillai are very close, live under the same roof, and are very respected farmers. Gopi shares his time also to tease the young women of his village and particularly, the very beautiful Radha, his betrothed, endowed with a temperament, brave and very roguish. But above everything, 2 young people love each other profoundly and do not dare to declare it overtly. Of teasings in mutual harmless quarrels, 2 lovers who only yesterday, bickered, do not joke any more at the moment. They are not any more for the party, because a good-for-nothing son of the only big landed family of neighbourhood, Duraisamy wishes Radha ardently for his wife. Grasping this, the father of the young woman sees the opportunity there to grow rich and forget the promise made to Gopi' s family.
Another drama comes to darken more profoundly the picture of this family so welded: a strong sum of money collected in the village and under the responsibility of Sundaram Pillai is stolen from him by unknowns. Duraisamy is behind this theft because he was always jealous of Gopi and so wishes to damage the brothers, to soil their honour especially. He quenches so his vengeance to have been corrected by Gopi, some time previously. To fight this terrible test, Gopi and Sundaram mortgage their most precious good: their land. They are given one year to resolve the situation. But other painful events are going to precipitate things, very negatively.

Production
C. V. Sridhar, who was reeling under financial problems, decided to collaborate with M. G. Ramachandran who agreed to act under his direction.[2][3]
Soundtrack
The music was composed by M. S. Viswanathan.[4][5] The song "Vizhiye Kadhai Ezhudhu" is set to Kambhoji raga.[6] Penned by Kannadasan, it was added by Sridhar when political issues led to a widening rift between Ramachandran and Kannadasan. But Sridhar could not get a satisfactory response to the situation. So Sridhar and Viswanathan decided to convince Ramachandran to have Kannadasan's song and Ramachandran accepted the proposal as he bore no personal grudge against the lyricist.[7][8]
