Synopsis

edit

Season 1

edit

Nachiappan defies his rich, male chauvinist parents to marry the poorer Parvathi, and they raise their daughters Janani and Anjana in a joint family. Despite Nachiappan's controlling nature, he is wooed by a marriage proposal from business tycoon Aadhimuthu Gunasekaran alias AGS (former: G.Marimuthu, Present: Vela Ramamurthy) for his brother Shakthivel. Unaware of the mistreatment of Aadhimuthu Gunasekaran alias AGS (former: G.Marimuthu, Present: Vela Ramamurthy)'s daughters-in-law, Nachiappan falls for the lie that Janani will be appointed as MD in Aadhimuthu Gunasekaran AGS (former G.Marimuthu, Present: Vela Ramamurthy)'s company. Then, Janani, a high achiever, marries Shakthivel, the youngest brother in the Aadhimuthu family.

As time passes, Janani learns the harsh reality of her in-laws' treatment of women. Her husband Shakthivel, haunted by childhood trauma, lacks the courage to confront his family. Janani's cousin Vasu warns her, but she proceeds with the marriage. Initially supportive, Shakthivel turns against Janani due to emotional manipulation from his elder brother Aadhimuthu Gunasekaran alias AGS (former: G.Marimuthu, Present: Vela Ramamurthy).

Janani's co-sisters Eshwari, Renuka, and Nandhini – are also educated women married to uneducated husbands in the Aadhimuthu family. The sisters face restrictions and are forced to be housekeepers by their controlling husbands – Aadhimuthu Gunasekaran alias AGS (former: G.Marimuthu, Present: Vela Ramamurthy), Aadhimuthu Gnanasekaran, Aadhimuthu Kathirvel, and Aadhimuthu Shakthivel. The story unfolds as Janani faces the challenges within her new family, aiming to bring about positive change with the help of Pattammal, Aadhimuthu Gunasekaran alias AGS (former: G.Marimuthu, Present: Vela Ramamurthy)'s grandmother.

Janani, standing against male chauvinism, leaves the Aadhimuthu household after Shakthivel doubts her character.

Guided by advice from Pattammal, Janani returns to help her co-sisters gain independence. Shakthivel realizes his mistakes, and the story unfolds as Janani strives to empower herself and her co-sisters against the backdrop of family dynamics and societal challenges.

Soon after, Aadhimuthu Gunasekaran alias AGS (former: G.Marimuthu, Present: Vela Ramamurthy)'s younger sister Aathirai is forced to marry Karikalan, after it is found out the she loved Aadhimuthu's business enemy SKR's youngest brother Arun. After torture from Karikalan and his mother Jhansi Rani, she escapes and fled to SKR and Charubala's residence.

Pattamal, who held a 40% share in Aadhimuthu properties and businesses, fought against Aadhimuthu Gunasekaran alias AGS (former: G.Marimuthu, Present: Vela Ramamurthy) for the rights of Janani and Aadhimuthu Gunasekaran AGS (former: G.Marimuthu, Present: Vela Ramamurthy). However, he ruled her as a threat to his empire and eventually killed her. How Janani will strengthen herself and liberate her co-sisters forms the crux of the story.
