Wife needed) is a 1990 Indian Tamil-language film written and directed by Parthiban.

One day, he spots Shanthi boarding the bus, she loses her pass and he helps her when a checking inspector questions her.

Kannan takes her to a pawn broker shop and retrieves the thaali of his dead mother.

In the past Kannan didn't have money to study so his mother mortgaged her thaali for him.

He couldn't even take a picture of her, since the photographer was busy clicking photos of another girl.

Frustrated, he consumes alcohol and drives the bus with passengers into the Agraharam and stops at Shanthi's house.

The Agraharam people prepare a petition which results in Kannan losing his job.
