Thinking Vaidehi is dead, Vaidehi's father confronts Raja and accuses him of causing her death. Vaidehi's father tries to marry her off to another man in a neighboring village, but she fakes her suicide on the way and hides in the house of a forest ranger (Nizhagal Ravi), that she happens to pass by. Afterwards Vaidehi tells her father about their love, who then tells Balu. To atone for his son's "crime," Balu prostrates before the Brahmins. One night, they are together in a temple, when Balu is discovered after hiding Vaidehi. He meets Vaidehi ( Amala Akkineni), the daughter of a Brahmin priest, and they fall in love. Their son, Sankarapandi ( Raja), has just returned from the city having completed his education. Balu Thevar though, is an atheist and speaks openly against the caste system, but is nevertheless tolerated by the villagers because he is generous in helping others in need. Balu Thevar ( Sathyaraj) and Petchi ( Saritha) live in a village and belong to a land-owning caste (Thevar), held supposedly lower in the Vedic caste system hierarchy than Brahmins.
