Kutti Padmini

Maya Vinodini (Amala), who grew up unparented but with lots of money sent to her via her local guardian Sivaprasad (Prathapachandran), is the leader of a bunch of boisterous girls at St. Mary's College. When taunted by Dr. Srinivasan (Suresh Gopi) about the identity of her parents, she sets out to find them. After discovering that her mother is the famed Carnatic singer K.S. Vasundhara Devi (Srividya), Maya sets off on a quest to make her mother accept her & reveal the identity of her father.

The movie revolves around the trials and tribulations of Anu (Sujatha). Anu is a happy-go-lucky girl who is in love with her boyfriend. Her life changes when her father gets transferred to Mumbai (then Bombay). Her love life falls apart as she gets no response to any of her letters from her love. In addition, her father becomes seriously ill. Her father's office colleague, Ramanathan (Rajnikanth), becomes the new pillar of support for her in these tough times.
