Nawab Naarkali

The film stars Jaishankar and Nagesh, with Lakshmi, Rama Prabha and V. K. Ramasamy, S. V. Sahasranamam and V. S. Raghavan playing supporting roles.

Ravi, a law college student, who is also a football player, works part-time, distributing newspapers to houses and as a tutor for managing his educational and accommodation expenses.

Kaanchana, whose manager is Naesamani Ponnaiyaa, lives with her father Raajavaelu, a man with mental disorientation and is looked after by Nurse Christy.

One time, Subbu requests his father Thaandavam to give ₹25 (equivalent to ₹1,100 or US$13 in 2023) to watch an English film but he refuses.

He decides to play a drama and tears off the chair seat, from which Raajavelu's stolen money flies from where it was stashed.

[7] The scene where Rama Prabha's character misreads the name "Naesamani Ponnaiyaa" as "Naasama Nee Poniya" was re-enacted by Janagaraj in Annaamalai (1992).
