As a young man under the name of Vijay (Vijayakanth), he gets even with the criminal Mathappu Sundaram (Senthamarai) killing each one of his three sons. One under water, the second from a mountain peak, the third murder is made to look as it were an accident with the car carrying the victim hurtling off the peak. Until he gets to the villain himself in as amber and goonda as made up as dolls.

Release

Sattam Oru Vilayattu got released on 21 October 1987 alongside another Vijayakanth film Uzhavan Magan.[5] However, both films went on to become super hits at the box office.[6] The Indian Express wrote "The screenplay is utterly contrived and there is nothing new either in M. Karunanidhi's dialogues [..] or S. A. Chandrasekhar's treatment which is as hackneyed as ever".[7]
