KOLANGAL
Adi pays a visit to the prospective buyer lined up byTolkappian.  He tries to frighten them away from the deal he has made with Tolkappian.  The old man, however, is adamant, saying that he has faced problems all his life, and the fact that the land is tied up in disputes is not a deterrent to him. Adi is baffled, because he has expected to scuttle the deal with his scaremongering.the old men thanks Adi for his information, and sends him on his way. back in his office, Adi ordersa hit on the oldman. tomorrow, when the gentleman who tries to go through the registrar's office to sign the papers, he must be intercepted somehow and gotten rid of.  Giri pays a goonda to do the deed.

The next day, everybody is assembled outside the registrar's office. Rajamani Madam and her  nephew are there. Abhi is there. Viswanathan and Krishnan Sir also. Ranjan expresses a great deal of impatience the cause the three sellers have not arrived yet.  Neither has the buyer.  As Mr. Neelakantan (the buyer) proceeds from his house, a truck manned by the killers rushes from a side street to ram into the van. providentially, the driver of the van makes a sharp turn to avoid the oncoming truck, and manages to save the lives of all those inside his vehicle, although the vanitself is totally damaged.

everyone of the registrar's office is getting restless.  Tolkappian calls the buyer's cell phone. Mr. Neelakantan firstinforms him that he has been delayedthe cause of an accident.  He says he was always way to the registrar's office when this happened.  His van is out of operation.  Tolkappian offers to come and fetch him.  It is at this point that the old man drops his bombshell.  He says, casually, and oh by the way, the deal is off.  Tolkappian is furious.  But he cannot do anything.  He protests, saying that everyone is assembled now. The old man replies that he is a great believer in auguries, and the accident is a sign that he should not proceed with the deal.

At Ganga's place, Ramachandran enters the tenants apartment, and lays a hand on Kalai. She is shocked and angry and host abuses at him and drive himaway.  All the way out, he notices that Bala is just about to come into the apartment.  He gets the bright idea.  He goes right back to his father-in-law, and makes a big scene, saying that the tenant is trying to seduce Bala. Predictably, everybody makes a beeline to the tenant's apartment, where they find Bala consoling Kalai. This is taken as a sign of an affair in full cry by Tirumalachari, who proceeds to beat him up. In true Tamil serial fashion, no one also is a clear explanation of what has happened. Tirumalachari demands that Kalai vacate the apartment immediately. Ramachandran is right -- seconding him.

later that evening, Ganga, Bala and Kalai are standing on the beach. Kalai wonders where she can go. Ganga has a  bright idea.  She asks, why not defuse the entire scandal by Bala marrying Kalai!

ARASI
GJ  and Nallathambi threaten all the witnesses with bodily harm if they breathed a word about the adulteration that took place in the factory. they are to say that it was Tamarai who ran the show.

 Ceylon Mani now has a bug in her ear. Her husband is being shortchanged by his sister.  She lives in a big mansion while they continue to live where they did before.  They have nothing for themselves.  Her husband finds 10,000 rupees missing from his purse. He asks if she took it.  She denies it and then launches into another fight. he wisely avoids it, and heads out.

Arasi's daughter undergo the operation by the Bombay surgeon, after Arasi's husband somehow managed to persuade ARASI to allow it.  He is gradually realizing that her preoccupation is not with any local problem but with something else.

Selvi and father waits outside the commission of inquiry, which is given them a summons. GJ too arrives,  and hands a piece of paper to the guard he is led in.  He lies left and right to the commission, saying that it was his late wife who was in charge of the entire operation, and he was nothing more than a sort of gatekeeper, keeping track of who came and went, etc. Selvi is able to hear snatches of this testimony from where she is, and she is horrified.  But bereft of a voice, there is not much you can do.
