Revelations in Muhurtam

Muhurtam
By a coincidence, Radha, Sivaperumal's wife, who is locked up in her room, sees Kadir's partner installing a cable connection next door. She gets his attention. Cutting a long story short, Kalidas (the only police inspector in town, no doubt) comes over with a posse and releases her. She reveals her husband and mother-in-law's wrongdoings. Manjula is called over by Kalidas to hear this fantastic story. She is aghast. She goes and fetches her two sisters, pushing aside her aunt (Sivaperumal's mother) who protests. Having dropped them at her house, she does one of the most idiotic things imaginable: proceeds to the quarry to confront a known killer single-handed. At the last scene, he beats her on the head with a stick. Meanwhile, Janani, smelling a rat, calls Kalidas and tells him Manjula has gone to the quarry. He hurries there.

Selvi
Bala and maya get Ranjini released from prison on bail. Maya brings her to the GJ residence. Ranjini by now hates Selvi so much that she has decided to move out. When Maya and Ranjini show up, both bad-mouth Selvi, who is at the door. Selvi lets loose a flurry of abuse in English, in reply to Maya's abusive English. Selvi also slaps Maya and asks her to get out. GJ and her father also lose their temper at Ranjini. She tells them to go to hell, saying she is leaving. When she invites her husband to go with her, he refuses. Don't forget you have tied a tali around my neck, she reminds him. In that case, take it off and give it back to me, he says, shocking her and everyone else.

Meanwhile, what of Piriyan (alias Ganesh) who is kidnapped by Devarajan and Bala's hirelings, observed by Tamarai and Selvi, but ignored by GJ? He is taken to the top of a hill, blindfolded, beaten up, and left to roam. He falls off a cliff, to the delight of his tormentors, but he rolls down, with his hands coming untied, but evidently, alive to appear another day.


Manaivi
Ramani falls into a trap set by Velu and gets arrested on a charge of transporting illicit liquor. Velu has called Krishnaveni and informed her of his coup. Naturally, Ramani is taken to the only police station in all of Madras- the one where Pallavan presides. When Krishnaveni goes there to meet Ramani and explains to Pallavan that Velu is behind all this, he is cool (recall his blackmail by Velu). Krishnaveni catches on right away, and says she will be back with a lawyer to post bail.

Velu is celebrating Ramani's arrest at Hamsaveni's place. At this juncture, Ramani's mother Thangam comes. Velumani hides in a room with the baby as hostage, and tells Hamsaveni to get rid of her quickly. But the old aunt manages to slip a note (she was typing something earlier) to Thangam.

Divya's new husband turns out to be 100% money-minded fellow, he can talk of nothing else. Kalpana comes to Arivu's place. Asks when Arivu and Rohini are getting married. Rohini says, not until my parents are present. Idiotic, because they have left only so she may get married. Arivu has the right idea. Let's get married and announce it, then they will see the announcement and return. Probably they should just post an announcement, so they may see it and return. Who knows?
