Andal Azhagar

This story centres around two warring families. The problem started when Vadivu (Azaghar's mom), who is the Collector's sister, ran away with Murugesan (a poor person) and married him. Their parents supposedly died due to grief, and now there's a cold war happening between both families. The present-day follows Azhagar(the second son and youngest child of Murugesan and Vadivu) and Aandal (the Collector's only daughter and youngest child) as they fall in love. We also see that despite family problems, Azhagar and Sakthi (Andal's second brother) are the best of friends. Sakthi has hidden feelings for Revathi (Azhagar's elder and only sister).

Azhagar falls for Andal on first sight and tries to impress her. Then Andal too falls for Azhagar. Vadivu comes to know of these happenings and advises Andal to break up the budding romance. Later Sakthi comes to know about Azhagar and Andal's love and decides to kill Azhagar. As Andal and Azhagar promise to break up, Sakthi forgives them.

Marriage arrangements are made for Andal. Meanwhile, Revathi is engaged to her friend Dinesh, and Sakthi is engaged to another girl in the same village. Azhagar tries to alert Andal that her bridegroom is not a good guy. Andal refuses to believe it. On the day of marriage, Andal realizes the bridegroom's real character and asks Sakthi to stop the wedding. Sakthi doesn't believe Andal. So Andal asks for Azhagar's help, and they both elope and get married. Furious Sakthi kidnaps Revathi and marries her. Revathi decides to live with Sakthi to punish him.

In Azhagar's house, Andal is tortured by Vadivu and Annam (Azhagar's sister in law). Andal somehow wins over her father-in-law Murugesan's heart and goes for work. She strives hard to make Azhagar a lawyer. Sakthi starts to impress Revathi. Meanwhile, Annam and Vadivu make plans to separate Andal and Azhagar. They bring Mayil (Annam's sister) to their home to get her married to Azhagar and so separate Andal and Azhagar forever. Arusamy (Azhagar's eldest brother) and Sakthi stand for the local MLA election. Revathi works for Sakthi's victory.

Azhagar becomes a lawyer. Mayil conceives Arusamy's baby. Arusamy requests Azhagar to accept the blame until the completion of election and Azhagar agrees- trouble brews between Andal and Azhagar. Sakthi wins the election. Arusamy reveals the truth. Meanwhile, Azhagar is arrested on a Police complaint submitted by Andal and is ill-treated in jail. On learning the truth, Andal requests Azhagar to forgive her. Azhagar refuses and tortures her, and they go for a divorce. Sakthi gets friendly with Malar (his political partyleader's sister). Azhagar gets helpful with Divya, a lawyer (his senior lawyer's relative).

Murugesan builds a hospital for Andal and allows Andal to name it after her Father-Chidambaram. Revathi becomes a collector and confesses her love for Sakthi. At the same time, Murugesan comes to take Revathi back to their home, and Revathi leaves as per Chidambaram's instruction. Chidambaram is ready to forgive Murugesan for the sake of Revathi. Eventually, Revathi confesses her love for Sakthi to Murugesan, and he accepts their love and agrees to forgive Chidambaram. Meanwhile, Vadivu decides to marry Divya to Azhagar, but in reality, Azhagar misses Andal.

Arusamy plants false tales of an illicit relationship between Malar and Sakthi. Furious at that Sakthi tries to stab Arusamy. But by mistake, he stabs Murugesan who becomes critical due to the injury. Chidambaram, Andal and Revathi are angry at Sakthi for his action. They refuse to forgive him. But Malar supports him and takes care of him. Murugesan is saved. Revathi decides to punish Sakthi for his act and sends Andal out of the home.

Malar loves Sakthi and decides to save him at any cause. Revathi conceives Sakthi's baby and claims that she will bring the child up against him. Chidambaram accepts Andal into his home again. Azhagar realizes his love for Andal. Andal is called a witness in court about the stabbing of Murugesan by Sakthi. Despite everyone's advice, Andal speaks the truth and becomes the prime witness against her brother Sakthi. After court, Andal pleads for Sakthi's understanding. He refuses and disowns Andal. Malar files her witness statement that she and Sakthi have an affair and that Sakthi was with her that night. Sakthi is released from the case. He leaves his house after blaming Chidambaram and Andal for abandoning him.

Azhagar confesses his love for Andal, and they both reunite. Revathi arranges for Azhagar and Divya's engagement without Azhagar's knowledge. Andal gets upset on knowing this and snubs Azhagar, and he tries to convince Andal. Malar carries on marriage arrangement for her and Shakthi claiming to him that it is just a fake method to bring out Revathi's love for Shakthi. (But her actual intention is to marry him by a trick)

Azhagar, Murugesan, Andal, Divya, Andal's brother and sister-in-law attends Thenu(Andal's friend) and Kathi(Azhagar's friend) wedding. Azhagar somehow manages to convince Divya and Andal. Azhagar and Andal reunite. Azhagar takes Andal to his home. As Revathi refuses to accept them, they both leave to Chidambaram's house where they are allowed.

A bond develops between Chidambaram and Azhagar. Revathi misses Shakthi but doesn't confess the same. Shakthi tries to convince Revathi. Everyone advises Shakthi not to marry Malar. Revathi confides her feelings for Shakthi to Murugesan and decides to reunite with him as per Murugesan's advice. Andal and Azhagar, with Chidambaram's, advise choosing to stop the marriage planned between Shakthi and Malar. Meanwhile, Shakthi reveals to Malar's brother that the marriage plan was fake. Malar's brother gets a heart attack and is admitted in the hospital. The hospitalized brother requests Shakthi to marry Malar as his last wish. Revathi, Andal and Azhagar rush to the hospital. Shakthi marries Malar before the three arrive. Revathi is broken. Shakthi realizes that Malar has cheated him.

Revathi blames Azhagar for her fate and calls him a betrayer. Also, there have been conflicts happening in Murugesan House between Revathi and her sister-in-law, Annam(Aarusamy's wife). Believing that she is the cause for all the problems in her house, Revathi leaves the house overnight, without telling anyone where she is and intending to sever contact with all of her family members. Similarly, believing that he is the cause of his sister's life becoming ruined, Azhagar goes out of town to clear his mind, leaving Andal with her parents.

Shakthi stops talking to Malar and comes home drunk every night because she tricked him. On one such day, a drunk Shakthi gets close to Malar, believing she is Revathi, and Malar also uses this to her advantage, and they both get into a physical relationship. In the morning Shakthi bitterly berates Malar and leaves her. Malar then attempts suicide. Shakthi rushes to the hospital; Malar is saved. Malar tells Shakthi that she will free him from their marriage. They both go to the temple, and there Malar hugs Shakti and wishes him luck in searching for Revathi. At the same time, Revathi- who's come back planning to speak to Shakthi, sees Malar & Shakthi hugging in the temple and leaves the town immediately.

Soon, Malar discovers that she is pregnant. Around the same time, Andal is also found to be pregnant. Months pass, and Shakthi still doesn't talk to Malar. Andal is found to be pregnant with twins, and so she is pampered by her family and her father-in-law. Revathi is living an independent yet hard life alone, and she is shown to be living in her friend's house in New Delhi. Later, Revathi goes into labour, and she gives birth to a boy. Andal is given a baby shower, and even though everyone conducts this ceremony happily, Chidambaram is mad that Azhagar has still not come to see his wife. Annam, who was also pregnant (she was sterile for many years, but on Andal's advice, she went through an operation, and she later got pregnant too) then gives birth to a boy. While everyone is happy, Shakthi is still not talking to Malar and is worrying about Revathi and her child. Shakthi's friend Poosari advises him to forgive Malar as she is now pregnant with his child.

On Prabarkaran's birth (Shakthi's child from Malar) he forgives her and treats her nicely. Malar is pleased. On the delivery, Shakthi invites his family and goes to their house. They ignore him. However, his mother, brother and sister-in-law arrive, making him very happy. Yet, due to Azhager's hate for Shakhti Andal does not come, though Shakthi understands. At the time of the other births, Andal has girl twins. She named them Revathi (a request from Azhager) and Shakti because she loved her brother a lot. Malar is furious that one of the twins has been called Revathi though she keeps it hidden from her husband, who is happy about the names. The names of Revathi's and Arusamy's child are not revealed until Pagal Nilavu, the next generation of Andal Azhager (Mon-Fri Star Vijay like Andal Azhager). The gender of Revathi's baby is published in the serial and she considers calling him Azhager, but declines it after what happened. Azhagar plans to send his daughters into a school away from Madurai, so they do not get caught up in the drama and considers boarding school.

The serial ends like this with short peacetime, but problems still underlie like Revathi being away. She does not come back to Madurai in Andal Azhagar. The future of this drama (i.e. the next generation) is Pagal Nilavu as mentioned before and runs Monday to Friday at Star Vijay during the evenings.
