My son) is a 2006 Indian Tamil-language family drama film written and directed by Thirumurugan.

Krishna studies poultry science in a nearby college and also assists his father in managing the store.

12 years ago Thirumalai had asked a loan from Selvi's family to develop his shop, which was refused due to their financial condition.

Then, in a festival in temple, Thirumalai slaps Selvi in front of both families for a petty reason, to insult her brothers.

The next night, Chellakannu passes away and the two families come to talking terms, making a truce to the enmity during the condolence.

Krishnan, Janani and Ayyakannu meet Balasubramanian, and request to help the former find a job as he has now completed his college degree with distinction.

Thirumalai feels happy upon seeing his son in a good status but returns without expressing his happiness because of ego, but on the other hand, Natarajan meets Krishnan after their child is born and realises that he sincerely loves and takes care of Janani, unlike Thirumalai and Krishnan reunites with his maternal uncle happily.

In the end, Thirumalai overcomes his ego and expresses his happiness upon seeing his son's growth and finally reunites with him.
