Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

The Britain-educated Shakti (Kamal Haasan), son of a village chieftain Peria-thevar (Sivaji Ganesan) returns home after a long stay abroad. Accompanying Shakti is his girlfriend (Gouthami ), with whom he intends to settle in a city and start a restaurant business. However, his father hopes he will don the patriarchal mantle, a role Shakti finds alien to him and distasteful after several years abroad. Then, an accidental conflagration and its consequences(Sivaji Ganesan dies) turns a new set of responsibilities on Shakti. The film was remade as Virasat in Hindi by Priyadarshan.
