His sister loses her baby due to complications . Kausalya replaces her own son with the dead baby . The sister brings up the boy as her own . Karthik and Kausalya hide their feelings . Finally when Anju's husband tries to sell that 2 year old boy for a big load of money , all truth comes out . Finally , Every one redeems , Anju's husband , Manivannan ... A totally out of shape and form Karthik with his conspicuous wig and eye bags is not a pleasing sight . His chirpy dialogue delivery is a treat to hear as always .
