Chembaruthi

Raja, though settled in London, travels to a village in India to visit his grandmother. He arrives at the family home and reconnects with his heritage. This visit places him in the middle of a village romance that will test family loyalties.

During Raja's birthday party at the grandmother's house, he first sees Chembaruthi, the sister of Pandi. It is love at first sight, and his feelings deepen quickly. The party becomes the stage for their fated connection.

Raja and Chembaruthi begin meeting secretly as their bond grows. They share moments that hint at a future together, despite looming class differences. Their affection strengthens with each encounter.

Raja's grandmother schemes to marry him off to Malathy, the daughter of a wealthy seafood exporter, to cement business ties. She expects financial gain, not romance. This puts her in direct conflict with Raja's choice of Chembaruthi.

At a party, the grandmother publicly announces Raja's interest in Malathy. The move signals a clash between duty and desire. Chembaruthi's hope begins to wilt under the weight of family expectations.

The grandmother accuses Pandi of manipulating the situation to trap Raja for his money. Pandi feels humiliated and retaliates by insulting the grandmother. The accusation deepens the rift between the families and threatens the lovers.

The confrontation ends in a deadlock with no immediate resolution for Raja and Chembaruthi's romance. Raja's grandmother doubles down on her arranged marriage plan, leaving the lovers with dwindling options. The couple resolves to seek a way to be together.

Raja and Chembaruthi run away from home to pursue their love. They escape the patriarchal pressure and seek a future together. The decision triggers alarm and a search by their families.

Murugan learns of the couple's disappearance and offers a reward to find them. He partners with his goons to locate and capture the lovers for money. The pursuit intensifies as the family closes in on the couple.

Murugan and his men locate the couple, abduct them, and lock them aboard a boat. The lovers are forcibly separated from their families and dragged into a perilous sea voyage. The abduction raises the stakes with danger at every moment.

Raja fights to protect Chembaruthi and manages to save her from drowning. The courage shown strengthens the bond between the lovers and forces the grandmother to reconsider her stance. The near-tragedy acts as a turning point toward reconciliation.

Seeing the couple's unwavering love, the grandmother and Pandi choose to bless their union. They acknowledge that love can transcend class and money. The family comes together in approval, ending with happiness for Raja and Chembaruthi.
