Plot

Velu, a passionate and principled young man, returns to his village after completing his education in agriculture. He is determined to modernize farming practices and uplift the lives of local farmers, challenging outdated traditions and exploitative landlords. Velu falls in love with Valli, a spirited village girl who supports his vision. Conflict arises when Velu’s progressive ideas clash with the interests of Vasudevan, a powerful and corrupt landlord (played by M. N. Nambiar). The film explores Velu’s struggle to implement scientific farming methods, fight social injustice, and win the trust of the villagers. Meanwhile, personal tensions brew as Meena (Vijayanirmala) and Raja (Jaishankar) add layers of romance and rivalry to the plot.
