Kanmani is an Indian Tamil-language soap opera directed by P. Selvam and produced by Home Movie Makers.

Soundarya returns from a work-study program in Russia to seek her parents' approval to marry Akash.

When Kannan realizes the truth, he prioritizes Soundarya's happiness and walks out on their wedding day, becoming ostracized by the family.

Kannan pleads to be allowed to perform the murai maman (literally 'method uncle')[further explanation needed] seer tradition, but he is thrown out of the wedding hall.

Kumaresan, one of Soundraya's brothers-in-law, impregnates one of the village concubines who extorts money from him to keep it a secret.

Struggling to make the payments, Kumaresan steals the jewels that Kannan had bought for Muthuselvi wedding.

The concubine's relative reveals the whole sordid affair while selling the jewels, leading Dharmadurai to confront Kumaresan.

On the wedding night, Kannan and Soundarya are very happy with each other but Akash is preoccupied with his mother's condition and refuses to be intimate with Valarmathi.

Akash plots to win back Valarmathi by pretending to marry his friend to make her jealous.

The birth is such a beautiful event that it convinces Kaali to abandon his plans and rejoin the family.
