Thendral

Thulasi endures a ruptured family life after her mother abandons them for money. She clings to her studies with the steadfast support of her grandmother. Her aim to become an engineer becomes the anchor around which her dreams and loyalties revolve.

Velayudham, a break-inspector, makes a grim bargain: help Manikam achieve his engineer dream in exchange for Thulasi's marriage. Manikam accepts the deal out of financial fear, dragging Thulasi toward a life she does not want. Thulasi agrees, hoping the alliance will repair the family and lift them from poverty.

Studio photos are mislaid and swapped, placing Thulasi's image into Tamizharasu's orbit and igniting his growing interest. The mistake also foists social and romantic complications into a family already under pressure. Thulasi’s life becomes entangled in a drama of appearances and misperceptions.

Tamizharasu’s mother pushes for a match with a rich heiress and selects Charulatha to bolster the family’s social standing. Tamizharasu, moved by Thulasi yet bound by duty, agrees to the engagement with Charu. The plan pits wealth and status against genuine affection.

Tamizharasu steps in to fund Thulasi’s college education, challenging the social script that would separate them. Thulasi’s feelings begin to shift as she sees a different future possible with his support. The bond between them deepens beyond mere obligation.

Tamizharasu and Thulasi marry at a temple, defying family orders and social conventions. Charu suffers heartbreak as the wedding steals her anticipated place in Tamizh’s life. Charu and her mother vow to wreck the couple’s happiness through calculated schemes.

Charu’s backlash fans mistrust between Tamizh and Thulasi, as her manipulation aims to drive them apart. Thulasi remains steadfast and tries to prove her fidelity, despite growing suspicion. The couple’s love is tested by deceit from those closest to them.

Thulasi’s mother, Bhuvana, reappears as a money-driven antagonist who manipulates affection and loyalty for control of wealth. She resents Thulasi and uses wealth as a weapon against the family’s harmony. Her schemes threaten to tear the household apart from within.

Bhuvana stages a cancer deception to magnify the family’s fragility and secure financial power. The ruse plunges Manikam and the others into despair and pushes him toward a suicidal crisis. The family teeters on the edge as truth begins to surface.

Thulasi, Tamizh, and Sundari join forces to reveal Bhuvana’s lies, forcing her to flee the home. Before leaving, she launches a final attack: she sets fire in Lakshmanan’s hospital, sabotaging the family’s reputation and inviting legal peril. The fallout reshapes every future plan.

The marriage celebrations suffer interruptions as the family grapples with the scandal. Prabakar’s marriage to Deepa is arranged as a sacrifice to preserve family honor. The community’s gaze and the fragility of reputations dominate the days that follow.

Kalyani and Mohan pursue a romance, while Padma’s pursuit of wealth meets resistance until love ultimately prevails. Deepa divorces Prabhakar after suspicions of infidelity, though he later reforms and reopens his heart. These parallel stories shift loyalties and expectations within the group.

Charu returns from a coma and reignites the struggle, while Maya, her mother, drugs Tamizh to forget Thulasi. Thulasi intervenes just in time to save Tamizh, unraveling the remaining plots. Charu and Maya meet a tragic end, and Tamizh’s mother finally accepts Thulasi as his wife.

Thulasi and Tamizharasu confront the final rounds of trials, and their bond endures despite money, betrayal, and scheming rivals. The story closes on a hopeful note with Thulasi expecting a child, signaling stability and shared strength for the family.
