The Wealthy Woman) is a 1963 Indian Tamil-language romantic comedy film, directed by T. R. Ramanna.

[4] Murugappan is a small-time farm labourer who lives with his widowed elder sister Gangamma in a village.

Sabapathy falls in love with Thillaiammal (Manimala), who has been informally engaged to Murugappa for a long time.

To avoid a direct clash with the zamindar, her father says that he took a vow that his daughter would marry the winner of a silambam competition.

When Gangamma confronts him, he rapes her and she disappears after writing a suicide note to her brother urging him to leave the village and make a living elsewhere.

Pitamdhi does a Pygmalion on him and Murugappa emerges from the tutelage as Azhagappa competent in English, and even knows to play the piano.

Pillaival gets an anonymous letter informing him that his daughter is in love with someone in the city and he sends for her immediately and confronts her.

Azhagappa and Pitamdhi as Arulappan and his secretary meet Pillaival and the marriage takes place.

Confronted by a deadlock situation, Punitha initially contemplates suicide, but decides to live and have the baby.

Pitamdhi meanwhile, falls in love with Thillaiammal's young sister Valli and learns silambam from their father in order to wed her.

All they find is a note from her confessing to Pillaival's murder and urging Murugappan to return to his wife, Punitha.
