Balan settles in the Railway quarters with Savitri whom everybody assumes is his wife.Raghavan is shocked to see her at Balan's home, for Savitri is his own wife whom he had abandoned years ago. Savitri's mother was the madam at a brothel and Raghavan suspected that she had taken the same way.
In the present day, the situation grows fraught as a distraught Savitri tries to see her daughter. But Raghavan callously prevents her. But she's aided in her efforts by the tea-seller Mammookka who baby-sits the child. However when Raghavan learns of it, he's furious. A fight erupts between Balan and Raghavan when the latter insults Savitri. She admits to the truth that Raghavan is her husband.
