Set during the colonial era in a hilly village near Salem, this Tamil drama follows Sembattayan, an unlettered betel-leaf seller, whose mother arranges his marriage to Nandhini, a modern, educated woman from another village. Struggling to adapt to his rustic household, Nandhini grows increasingly discontented and distant from her husband and mother-in-law, and her path crosses with a recruiting agent working for the British, setting off tensions within the household and among the villagers. The story is a remake of a Kannada film based on a novella, and was shot around Yercaud in early 1979.

Where to watch in USA

We haven’t been able to find out. The catalogues we check have no entry for this film at all, which is common for older and regional releases — it means nobody could tell us, not that it isn’t streaming.
