Sheelabathi also meets a young doctor Jeevan ( Narain), with whom she becomes very friendly. In the village there are people who come to dig huge bore-wells and consequently there is much of water scarcity. And young students disappear mysteriously from the school and end up being sexually exploited.

Benny comes to her rescue and kills Pandi’s brother after a languorous fist fight just before the interval. After that, everything goes haywire. The focus shift to the jail, where lover-boy is undergoing rigorous imprisonment for six years on charges of murder. He suffered several atrocities at the hands of jail warden.
