Vijaykanth and Revathi play the lead roles in this 1984 movie.
Revathi plays the role of young widow named Vaidehi and Vijaykanth is a recluse whose nightly songs soothe the entire village but no one knows his story. He scratches her name in the temple walls which intrigue the villagers and they start to speculate if the two (hero and heroine) have any connection.
That's when Vijaykanth narrates his tragic story to her - his beloved's name is Vaidehi too. 'Do not jump to conclusions' is one moral viewers can probably learn from her avoidable death. This Vaidehi too opens up her history to him too, of how she came to suffer this fate at such a young age.
Meanwhile love blossoms between two youngsters - a new arrival to the village and a rowdy's (Radharavi's) sister. By some circumstance the new arrival (who ends up working at a ration shop) stays with Revathy and her dad; and quite inadvertly the new person gives the idea that he may be interested in marrying Revathy. The dad is quite enthusiastic about the prospect of a new lease of life for his daughter. I think that it is in poor taste that the new person calls Revathy to a secluded spot just to seek help for his love which Radharavi is dead against.
The pathos of all the primary characters forms the rest of the story.
Goundamani as 'All in all Azhaguraja' makes quite an impression which has in fact been considered as iconic.
The music of Ilaiyaraja deserves another laudable mention. 'Indraikku yen intha' in Abhogi ragam is mesmerizing and refreshing.
