Plot
The reporter Revathi comes to a village in search of interesting true stories. She later learns that a woman called Thamizhselvi has not left her house for seven years. When Revathi meets her, Thamizhselvi reveals her sad past.
In the past, Rasayya was a short-tempered man and the son of the village chief Periyasamy Gounder while Undrayar Gounder was a heartless rich villager. Both often clashed and fought. Some contrived situations made the villagers believed that the innocent Rasayya was a womaniser. Thereafter, Rasayya fell in love with Thamizhselvi who was from the nearby village and they eventually got married. Thamizhselvi first thought that Rasayya was also a womaniser, so Rasayya proved her the contrary. One day, Undrayar Gounder tried to rape Thamizhselvi but she killed him. Rasayya surrendered for the murder and he was sentenced to the capital punishment.
The reporter promises to save Rasayya from the capital punishment. What transpires later forms the crux of the story.
