Em Magan

Thirumalai runs a small provision store in Karaikudi and is known for his sharp temper. His wife Selvi, her brother Karupatti, their son Krishna, Krishna's sister Vanitha, and Thirumalai's mother live with him under a cloud of constant tension. The family dynamics simmer with friction as the store's demands and his mood collide with everyday life.

Divya, Krishna's classmate, declares her feelings for him and proposes. Krishnan makes clear that his heart belongs to Janani, not Divya. Divya's unreciprocated confession foreshadows the complications that thread through their families.

A collapsed loan attempt by Selvi’s family to expand the shop triggers a bitter feud. At a temple festival, Thirumalai publicly slaps Selvi to insult her brothers, deepening the rift. The humiliation plants a long-lasting wedge between Thirumalai’s family and Janani’s kin that haunts them in the present.

Chellakannu lies on his deathbed, urging reconciliation between the feuding families. Thirumalai initially refuses, sending Chellakannu’s wife away and leaving for Madurai the next day. Selvi and Krishna steal a moment to visit Chellakannu, and a diversion to the Kunnakudi Murugan Temple helps them avoid punishment. The condolence that follows nudges the families toward a fragile, temporary truce.

Krishnan and Janani feel the spark of love rekindling after many years. Janani returns his feelings, signaling a potential path toward a life together. Yet the shadow of the families’ feud looms as old tensions threaten their budding romance.

A clash erupts when Thirumalai and Natarajan blame each other’s children for the renewed friction. Thirumalai strikes Krishnan and forcibly sends the couple away from their home. The rigid pride of both families tests Krishnan and Janani’s commitment.

In a bold act of defiance, Janani hides in the car boot to accompany Krishnan back to his house. Her daring move deepens loyalties and intensifies the family conflict. It marks a turning point that pushes them toward a new path.

Balasubramanian intervenes to help Krishnan seek meaningful employment. Krishnan lands a job at a poultry farm in Udumalaipettai, a pivotal shift for the family’s fortunes. The new work begins to stabilize their future and opens a path to reconciliation.

Krishnan and Janani marry, blessing them with a baby boy. Krishnan’s career starts to progress as the family settles into new routines. Thirumalai, watching from a distance, pretends to be happy at their success. The household’s mood shifts toward cautious optimism.

Natarajan finally greets Krishnan and sees the genuine love and care he shows for Janani. This moment helps foster reconciliation between the two families. A new sense of trust begins to replace old grudges.

Krishnan visits Thirumalai with a view to an eventual match for his sister. Clarifying conversations follow, revealing a shift from pride to forgiveness. The families start to see a hopeful path forward.

Balasubramanian arranges Divya’s engagement with the man she truly loves. This signals broader forgiveness and forward momentum for everyone involved. Divya’s future is set despite past misunderstandings.

Thirumalai overcomes his stubborn pride and opens himself to his son’s growth. He accepts the flourishing life of both families rather than clinging to old resentments. The clan comes to live together in happiness and harmony.
