Cheran Pandiyan
Manicheran Gounder or Periya Gounder (Vijayakumar (actor)), the rich head of the village with his wife Paarvathi (Manjula Vijayakumar) and beautiful daughter Vennila (Sreeja), is a person who strictly adheres to the caste system. Rajapaandi or Chinna Gounder (Sarathkumar) is Periya Gounder's half brother and also a rich landlord in the same village and Parimalam (Chitra (actress)) is his sister. Since Rajapaandi's mother was from a lower caste, Periya Gounder stays aloof from him and always ignores and berates Rajapaandi and Parimalam. Their father, before dying had divided his entire property including the house equally between the two brothers and they live on either side of the house split by a wall. Yet Periya Gounder's family gets first respect within the village and the local temple and he refuses to yield any privilege to Rajapaandi.
