Neelakandan (Pithamagan Mahadevan) is the village landlord who is a cunning man and has grabbed all the wealth from Nandini's father a few years back. Neelakandan has a son Sekhar (Manoj K. Jayan), who is a womanizer.

Nandini and her college professor, fall in love with each other. He proposes to marry her and she accepts. Sekhar, who has an eye on Nandini, is humiliated and slapped by Nandini while he tries to misbehave with her. As a means of revenge, Sekhar kicks Nandini and her grandmother (Manorama) out of their house. Nandini's marriage is immediately stopped and her grandmother falls ill.

Azhagesan accommodates them in his small house. Later, Nandini's grandmother dies, and Nandini is raped by Sekhar. Nandini gets pregnant but aborts with Neelakandan's daughter's support. Neelakandan wants to take Nandini to his house and marry Sekhar, but she refuses, and Azhagesan humiliates Neelakandan. Sekhar decides to kill Azhagesan. First, he kills Azhagesan's family friend Govinda (Delhi Ganesh). In the meantime, Neelakandan dies because of his illness. Sekhar's henchmen beat Azhagesan, and Nandini kills Sekhar.

A few years later, Nandini is released from jail and lives happily with Azhagesan.

Reception

B. Balaji rated the film 1.5 out of 5 stating that : "Azhagesan, which although a remake of Malayalam film Karumadikuttan, seems more like a rip-off of the classic 16 Vayadhinile".[5] Movies.bizhat.com said that : "The film is an unmitigated endurance test for the audience" and concluded that : "the film is an amateurish attempt and is strictly avoidable".[6]
