There she meets Parithi's friend, Kabir, in his deathbed. Later, it is shown that the man is Nambi's grandson.Īmy falls ill while at her room and is rushed to the hospital. After they leave, his wife asks him why he lied about the images that his grandfather had saved. They meet the manager (Jayakumar), and he says that the pictures were bought in an auction years ago. They track down the owner of the image (), which is actually a shooting spot for dramas.
When his wife sees his drunken stupor, she furiously throws old frames, and Amy identifies one of them to be a photo taken by her. They go meet a painter who gets drunk with the money they gave.
Murali then gives an idea of painting Parithi as he would look now. Catherine suggests that they go to the Census Office to identify Parithi. It turns out that she is not the person whom they were looking for. They track down an old woman named Selvi (as Parithi's sister's name was Selvi) in hopes that she is Parithi's sister. She and Catherine go in a taxi driven by Veerasekhara Murali and his assistant. In between this, the scene shifts to the present day where the aged Amy, who is going around Chennai looking for Parithi, starts remembering the olden days. Parithi is successful, and Ellis vows revenge. He challenges a cruel racist officer named Robert Ellis, who is also Amy's suitor, to a wrestling match to decide the fate of his clan's home.
He openly opposes the British officials who attempt to build a golf course in the dhobi clan's dwelling place. Parithi, a member of the dhobi (washermen) clan, is also an experienced wrestler who trains under Ayyakanu. In the process, she recalls the events when she had first visited Chennai, and the chain of events that took place.Ī young Amy, the daughter of the Madras Presidency Governor George Wilkinson (Jack James), visits Chennai (then called Madras, with the Chennai District being called Madrasapattinam) along with her translator Nambi and encounters Parithi, whom she calls a "brave man". Amy interrogates various people about Parithi's whereabouts.
However, after a turn of events, she had married another man from her hometown and thus felt that the thali was no longer her property.Īmy arrives in Madras with her granddaughter Catherine, equipped only with a picture of Parithi that was taken 60 years ago. She wishes to return a thali (traditional wedding threads) belonging to his mother, which he gave her as a sign that she belongs to India and nobody can separate them. An elderly English woman named Amy Wilkinson (Carole Trangmar-Palmer), almost at her deathbed in London due to a blood clot caused by a past head injury, wants to come down to Madras in search of a young man named Ilam Parithi, whom she last saw on 15 August 1947.
