She tells Sumathi to change the ending by uniting the lead pair in the story and thereby reveals her intentions to see Sumathi wedded to her son Surender. Sumathi is overjoyed and feels happy about her future prospects.
But Sumathi's dream turns topsy-turvy, when Seethamma passes away suddenly. Surender and his father come to the town and goes on a search to find the girl that Seethamma has fixed for her son. To fulfill his mother's last wish, Surender is determined to marry only the girl that his mother has seen for him.

On the flip side the movie is little too long.
