Mayandi Kudumbathar

Mayandi's family) is a 2009 Indian Tamil-language drama film written and directed by Rasu Madhuravan.

It stars ten Tamil film directors, including Manivannan, Seeman, Tarun Gopi, Ponvannan, and K. P. Jagannath in lead and supporting roles.

Mayandi has four sons – Thavasi (Ponvannan), Virumandi (Seeman), Cheenisamy (K. P. Jagannath) and Paraman (Tarun Gopi) – and one daughter – Mayakka (Deepa Shankar).

Their plan gets executed: the properties get partitioned into three, leaving Paraman as his portion was already sold by Mayandi to pay the college fees.

Poongodi gets admission into Madras Medical College, and she leaves to Chennai for education, though she keeps talking to Paraman regularly on the phone.

Thavasi's wife is saved, and she realises her mistake and feels bad for ill-treating Paraman despite which he helped her in a timely manner.

Now, her parents request Poongodi to marry the groom as it would be an insult for the entire family due to a cancelled marriage.

Knowing the truth, Paraman feels happy about Poongodi's kind heart and her sacrifice for the welfare of her family.
