Very nice writing but little hurt because of some Tanglish (Tamil + English) words used while most of the words in the story were pure Tamil or words used by Brahmins.more It was heart breaking when Savithri got pregnant, she was abandoned by her husband and in-laws and sent to her father's home alone, and when she went her village, father was not there (he went to get job in Chennai) and her step mother also was not there so she was seeking for her father with agony. Sastri who was real Hindu-Brahmin against the caste-ism, very kind person, did his daily routine of a real Hindu and Savithri who was a good daughter to Sastri and became rich woman from her past pitiful life (abused by her step mother, abused by mother-in-law and got bad experience with her husband and her mother-in-law made her strongest woman). I liked both Savithri and Sastri characters. Appreciate that Kalki had tried to give a good lesson to the community against caste-ism and the women's rights.

Many girl children were named Saroja after the film was released. There is a child character, daughter of the heroine, named Charu it was portrayed by a child star named Baby Saroja. Again this name inspired me to name my daughter. The heroine's original name was Savithiri, which she changed to UMA Devi, when she became rich. The repented husband joined with her in freedom struggle and also in Jail. To avoid that situation she became a freedom fighter and got jailed. Husband makes restoration of family rights and wants to live with her. This is a story of an innocent Brahmin girl suffering in in laws place and ultimately became rich.
