Being close around Sundari and with Anbu absent, he starts fantasizing about having sex with her. After rescuing her from a fall from a boat, he tries to have sex with the unconscious Sundari. But regaining consciousness, soon she is shocked and covers herself up. Unable to control his urges he has sex with sundari on the boat. After this incident, Veerasami tries to kill himself but is prevented by Sundari, stating that she also joined in the act. They ignore the incident and try to live a normal life. Veerasami starts to drink heavily and sleeps outside regularly. One day, Sundari invites him inside and provides food. This time, Sundari, aroused by the previous incident, is the first to seduce Veerasami. After having sex multiple times, the father-in-law and daughter-in-law are now comfortable with the new illicit relationship. They start going out for movies together. Sundari provides Veerasami with alcohol when he needs it, cooks food, and performs the sexual favours that he needs. In turn, Veerasami buys Sundari kinky clothes and watches her wear them.

One day Anbu returns to find out the bitter truth. He tries to engage in sex with Sundari, but she avoids him. The father and son are now vying for the same woman. Sundari becomes heartbroken and commits suicide after reading an article written by Anbu where he mentions that he suspects a relationship between Sundari and Veerasami but hopes that Sundari remains faithful to him and that he loves her deeply. After Sundari's death, Anbu gets feeling of called under a tree where it is written camera. The scene shifts to a boat in which Anbu and his father are both sitting and drinking. The scene shifts back showing Anbu taking out the camera where a recording shows Sundari confessing it was all because his father raped her that she lost herself and had illegal relations and she does not have any quality to live with a loving Anbu and thus turns her head to a railway track where a train is running. Enraged by all this, Anbu plans to kill his father. Anbu asks his father why he did not feel wrong while thinking wrongly of Sundari, for which he replies that Sundari was very beautiful and he feels sad that he shaved his head with Anbu and it was good that his wife died earlier. He also asks if Sundari cheated Anbu, then what was the guarantee that his wife will not cheat on him while he was in military. Hearing this, Anbu gets enrages and starts stabbing the boat.
