When they both decide to get married after a few teasings and duets, her family refuses and gets Sundarapandi beaten, and his father gets killed in the process. Nambiar who resides in the next village, adopts him. After hearing his story, he extends his proposal to Chellameena's family, who still refuses despite Sundarapandi now having millions in his name thanks to Nambiar.
