Orphan gawky thin Kamal must be in his early 20s during this movie . It charts his path of sexual journey. As a very young chap, he works as a helper in a rich house manned by the strict landlord , his kind understanding wife , his young widowed sister. Though they are childless, the landlord and his wife are very loving with each other and their servants. The widowed sister often ogles at Kamal ( who has to work bare torsoed ) and seduces him more than once while acting innocent outwards . When the land lord finds out , he thrashes him and he is thrown out of the village by his guardian. Dejected he comes to Chennai and becomes the butt of many sexual advances by many . Quitely he succumbs to all and sundry learing a few lessons on the way . He meets a rich call girl Srividya ( resplendent and eye catching in her glam avatar) and she soon invites him to live under her roof . He expects her to made advances towards him but she surprises him by saying that she misses a family member and he should be her life long brother . He is stunned and continues to live with her through her customers and clients . Confused about his own grownig sexuality and yearning for companionship and disillusioned about whats right or wrong , he starts visiting call girls himself . He slowly contacts STDs and when Sri Vidya finds out she throws him out for being disloyal and debaucherous . In the end , he dies a slow death in a dingy hospital much to the chargin of his caring doctor. An eyeopening movie shows the perils of lack of stability and balance in life. We feel sorry for every character , even the rich women who have sly affairs . Every one is searching for some. Cohesion. The ending is sad but attaches to our hearts.
