Plot
[edit]Ambujakshan at long last gets to meet a director and a producer to narrate his story 'Chirakodinja Kinavukal', which he hopes would finally be made into a film. He declares that he has made a few changes to the script to meet the requirements of the new gen cinema, though the hero of his tale, Thayyalkkaran and his heroine Sumathi have not changed. As per Ambujakshan's story, Sumathi falls in love with a local tailor, Thayyalkkaran. Virakuvettukaran, her father, a rich woodcutter, is against this relationship and decides to marry her off to an NRI. Since it is seemingly futile to stop the marriage, the tailor tries to commit suicide and gets hospitalized. Surprisingly, the marriage comes to a halt. Therefore, in the end, Sumathi and the Tailor reunite.
