Plot

[edit]

As the name implies, Uravugal is the tale of the conflicts that arise amongst the members of a single joint family following the passing of the elder. The family's eldest member, Annamalai, is wed to Parvathy. Krishnan and Gowri, their two children, were born. Azhagesan, the younger brother of Annamalai, gets wed to Visalakshi or Visalam. Mukunthan and Ranjani are their twins. Senthil Andavar, a worthless man who lives off his in-laws' money, is married to Ranjani. While Mukunthan possesses an MA, Krishnan did not complete any coursework and quit at the 10th grade level. They all coexist in harmony as one big family.

The boys' wedding is decided by the family. It was intended for Mukunthan to marry Gayathri, the educated daughter of Thanikachalam and Rajeshwari. Chitra, who comes from a middle-class background, and Krishnan have been paired together. Mukunthan and Annamalai visit Chitra's home, and Mukunthan is seduced by Chitra's attractiveness. The weddings of Mukunthan and Chitra and Krishnan and Gayathri are planned in the middle of this. In order to make his brother happy, Krishnan lied about his academic level and obtained an MA. The union has ended. Soon after realising the reality, Gayathri departs from Krishnan. A heart attack also claims Annamalai's life. After being convinced to do so by Senthil, Mukunthan and his mother are compelled to transfer his family away. After quickly seeing her error, Gayathri rejoins Krishnan. The two families reside apart.

The brothers' conflicts widen, and Mukunthan begins to despise Krishnan. A minor quarrel between Gayathri and Krishnan also happens, but it is all resolved. The two families continue to battle and argue bitterly while Gayathri and Chitra try to resolve issues, however Chitra has a lot of difficulty with a now-modified Mukunthan. The climax, shown where Mukundan is united completely with his family where Chitra accepts him.
