Chinna Thambi Periya Thambi

Their mother's brother arrives after twenty years, bringing new energy to the household. Both Chinna Thambi and Periya Thambi are drawn to Kavitha, the uncle’s daughter. Their feelings clash with social expectations and the family’s concerns about wealth and education. The grandmother warns against any personal ties to Kavitha’s family.

Chinna Thambi and Periya Thambi woo Kavitha, but her parents refuse the match, citing the brothers' lack of wealth and education. Kavitha’s family is pressured by social norms, pushing them away from the brothers. The grandmother’s stance tightens the rift between Kavitha’s family and the brothers.

The grandmother expels Kavitha’s family from the village and forbids the brothers from visiting the uncle’s family. Kavitha’s life fractures as she loses her support network. The move marks a turning point in Kavitha’s prospects and loyalties.

Kavitha is arranged to marry Mohankumar, heir to a Garments company in Tirupur. The wedding preparations take the families to Chennai, where the ceremonies and fittings begin. The looming wealth of Mohankumar promises a different life for Kavitha, away from the village.

On the eve of the wedding, Kavitha’s parents die in a road accident while en route to the hall, leaving debts behind. All of Kavitha’s properties are sold to repay the debts and the wedding is called off. Kavitha returns to the village in poverty, supported by her brothers.

The brothers console Kavitha and she begins living with her cousins and aunt in the village. She grows to appreciate a simple lifestyle free from luxury. Their bond deepens as they adapt to new circumstances together.

Periya Thambi tries to buy luxuries for Kavitha by cutting sandalwood illegally and is arrested by local police. The strain of events coincides with the death of their mother from a heart attack. The incident marks a harsh turning point for the family.

Periya Thambi serves a three-month term and is released from jail. He begins working in a mill to support Kavitha and the family, channeling his energy into steady labor. The brothers’ fortunes remain intertwined as they navigate new hardships.

Kavitha grows to love the honest Chinna Thambi, deepening the bond between the couple. This affection contrasts with Kavitha’s earlier pursuit of wealth and status. The relationship reinforces the brothers’ protective stance toward her.

Periya Thambi saves a widow named Thayamma from dire straits and, in the process, falls in love with her. This adds a new romantic thread to the brothers’ tangled lives. The family begins to consider a future that includes Thayamma.

The mill owner tries to press Kavitha into becoming his concubine, triggering a confrontation that leads to Chinna Thambi being jailed for a month. The tension tests Kavitha’s loyalties and the brothers’ resolve. They strive to anchor Kavitha amid danger and coercion.

On the day of Chinna’s release, Periya Thambi orchestrates the wedding between Chinna and Kavitha, and Thayamma’s family approves her remarriage. The plan aims to stabilize the family and honor the bonds formed through hardship. The village looks on as old rivalries begin to soften.

Kavitha is kidnapped by the mill owner’s son and a local landlord on the wedding day. Periya Thambi rescues her, beating and killing the two attackers in a dramatic confrontation. He withholds the truth of the killings from Kavitha and Chinna.

Police arrive to arrest Periya Thambi for the killings, and he marries Thayamma before surrendering. He is sentenced to ten years in prison. The decision marks a defining escape from the immediate danger surrounding Kavitha and Chinna.

After serving his term, Periya Thambi returns home to find his house developed and his wife waiting. He and Chinna Thambi continue their relationships, with Kavitha and Thayamma by their sides, and life resumes with a sense of harmony. The brothers’ families settle into a lasting balance.
