Vani Rani (TV series)

Twin sisters Vani and Rani (Raadhika), after the loss of their parents are brought up by their paternal uncle, Manikkam (Ravikumar). Vani aspires to become a lawyer; therefore, Rani sacrifices her education so that Manikkam will make Vani a lawyer. Over the years, Vani passes out as a successful Lawyer and marries Bhoominathan (Venu Arvind), a granite businessman, while Rani marries Bhoominathan's stepbrother, Swaminathan (Babloo Prithiveeraj), a famous restaurant owner. Meanwhile, Manikkam's son, Manohar (Sivaji Manohar) falls in love with Bhoominathan's sister, Jyothi (Premi Venkat). He elopes with her, where Rani is forced to marry, earning Vaani and Rani the wrath of both their uncle and their mother-in-law, Angayarkanni (Shanthi Williams). At the same time, Vani refuses to speak with Rani after that.

Over the years, Vani and Bhoominathan turn out to be very successful, while Rani and Swaminathan are not too successful since all of Swaminathan's business turn out to be failures. However, they all live together in the same house. Vani has two sons, Surya Narayanan (Arun Kumar Rajan), an unemployed and childlike lawyer and Gautham (Vignesh Kumar), the college guy, while Rani has three children, Saravanan (Maanas Chavali), Selvi (Niranjani Asok) and Thenmozhi (Neha). Problems continue to erupt in the house due to Bhoominathan's ego against his stepbrother. At the same time, the entrance of Angayarkanni, who is jealous of Vani and Rani's close relationship despite Vani's refusal ever directly to address Rani, further worsens the problems, by conspiring against them and trying to separate them. Meanwhile, Selvi falls in love and under dire circumstances, marries Rajesh (Guhan Shanmugam) with only Vani as a chance witness, causing a rift in the family, and their eventual separation, resulting in Vani and Rani to get separated. However, Bhoominathan later realises his faults, turns over a new leaf and sends his mother away and tries to get the family together.

They get together but live in separate houses. However, problems continue to haunt them in the form of a vengeful Angayarkanni and Jyothi and Kadhir, a local don who has his vengeance against Saravanan.

Surya marries Dimple. She hates Vani and does everything against her mother-in-law. Surya and also Dimple wanted to divorce each other several times, but in the end, Vani was able to bring them back together. Gautham becomes a policeman and investigates a murder that took place in a quarry which was owned by a doctor known as GP (Tarun Master). GP is also a prominent business magnate who controls the Indian medicine mafia activity, and his son Arya (Fawaz Zayani) was a famous criminal dealing in international illegal organ mafia activities.
