be out in the light, the son-in-law pulls out the oxygen tube of Raj Kiran in the hospital when Surya is not around and blames
Surya of murdering his father-in-law. Surya having to deal with the pain of losing the only man, who gave him a second chance
to live, also struggles the fray of being of being convicted of murder once again. Finally he is acquitted, as there are no
eyewitnesses to the murder. Surya has aptly displayed his
yearning to be loved by his mother. Scenes were he asks his mentally demented to feed him are quite moving. After being acquitted
for Raj Kiran's murder he returns home. His paranoid mother who still believes that her son still has murder instincts waits
at home to feed a meal, which she has poisoned herself.
