This was my birthday treat from the makers of MM - no RKO, no oppari!
Vasanthi is getting ready to go see that film-maker and changes out of one outfit into a red sari. The previous outfit, sandana colored sari, is tossed up on the door, from where it falls and lands on the ground (symbolic of V losing her virtue?) as she leaves, locks the door and leaves the key with some athai nearby.
Meena, AM and Meena's brother go to the sambandhi's house. Right then, sambandhi amma gets a call from a friend of hers to her daughter's valaikaapu. Sambandhi tells about her son's engagement, friend asks who is the girl, sambandhi amma tells all, friend is the lady constable who arrested Tamil on the prostitution charge, she tells all to sambandhi amma who is fuming. The maid comes to tell her about Meena and party's arrival, she goes down with an angry look.
AM asks her if all is okay, she asks him what he wants, Meena talks about fixing the wedding date, she tells them she knows all about the secret. The brother doesn't know about this arrest incident, sambandhi amma tells all and accuses them of hiding all this. She tells them to leave the house, Meena tries to explain that if this wedding is canceled on these grounds, then their other daughters also will not get married, (so to help Meena's daughters get married, sambandhi amma should go ahead even if this was true about Tamil? Idhu enna nyayam?) but sambandhi amma orders them out.
Just as they come out of the house, Prakash and his dad drive up, and they ask them to come inside so that they can talk about the date for the wedding. AM is reluctant, but Meena persuades him. They go inside, and sambandhi amma asks them again to get out. Hubby wants to know why, she tells him about Tamil's arrest, Prakash says he already knows about it. He explains that Tamil called him that morning and said that she wanted to tell him about this. He liked her honesty and told her that their wedding would not be affected by this in any way. Meena and AM and brother are happy to hear this.
Thodarum ...
