Problems in Alagarpuram

Metti Oli (Episode 802)
Chidambaram's daughters go to Alagarpuram for the night, to await his body after the post-mortem. The villagers say a person killed in an accident should not be brought into the village. All the daughters (Bhavani still en-route from Singapore) protest strongly at this injustice to their father, who loved his village.

Nirmala and Bhavani arrive. Bhavani still doesn't know. She comes into the Alagarpuram house, to be greeted by a screaming Dhanam. The daughters drop to the ground and weep. Bhavani recalls his fateful phone call. Vijji gets up and bangs her head, saying, "I killed him".

Meanwhile, the crowd learns that his body is being brought into the village, and heads off to stop the ambulance from entering the village. Bose emerges. Manickam and mother in the background. Bose picks up an arival and challenges anyone to stop him. Then he collapses in grief. Well acted. Finally he issues a challenge -- those who think Chidambaram is a good man, make way. The crowd parts. The ambulance and cars enter.

The ambulance pulls in. Also following, Manickam and mother. The mother stands aloof and ponders as people from all over the village throng in grief. Each child is shown griveing in her own way. Leela laments that he had seen her in her anguish, but neve saw him once her problems were resolved. Good acting. Shakti shows up too. Manickam is at the foot. Ravi cries out that he is the one who has killed Chidambaram. He smacks his head, "I'm a sinner". Manickam's mom hears the words from a distance.
