Synopsis

It follows the story of the couple Sundram and Gnanambal who stays together with their children and grandchildren. Problems arise in their close-knit family when the different generations clash with each other.

Gnanambal lives in a village with her daughter Alamelu, who loves her very much. In the same village, resides her other two elder children, Doraipandi and Mangalasundari. Doraipandi is married to Nirmala and has two sons, Amudhan and Vetrivel. Mangalasundari is married to Karunakaran who works in the ships, and they have two daughters, Kayalvizhi and Velvizhi. Both Doraipandi and Mangalasundari hate their mother Gnanambal, believing her to be a woman of low-dignity, due to a misunderstanding in an incident in the past. Gnanambal longs for their love, but they have no respect for her. They are also not fond of Alamelu staying with her, and forbid their children from meeting or interacting with her. Doraipandi believes that his mother’s actions are the reason that their father, Sundaram left them.

In reality, Sundaram, lives as Arunachalam in Chennai, and is a big businessman. He has two children, Keshav and Kalpana. Keshav is married to Aarti, and have to children, the spoilt brat Rohit and Ananya. Kalpana is married to Agustine and they have 3 daughters, Shreya, Shruti and Shewtha. Actually, Sundram assumed the name Arunachalam after his friend. Years ago, Sundaram left Ganambal and his children in search of work. He meets Arunachalam, a street vendor and works in his shop and befriends him. Arunachalam married a woman, against her parents’ wishes, and both eloped. They have two children Keshav and Kalpana, whom he had not met yet. He is due to meet them in a few days time. In a turn of events, Arunachalam is killed by his village people and Sundaram, wearing glasses just like Arunachalam, is assumed as their father by Keshav and Kalpana. Not wanting to hurt the children’s feelings, Sundaram becomes Arunachalam.

Not knowing any truth, Alamelu works in Arunachalam’s office. Slowly the truth comes out. The grandchildren are happily united. Doraipandi and Managala too get to know that their mother was framed by a worker in the past and unite with her. While Kalpana turns over a new leaf and agrees to share the property with Doraipandi, Mangala and Alamelu, Keshav resists. Many events occur and in the end the family reunites and the show ends with Alamelu’s marriage with Aadhavan.

Speaking about the series, director Thirumurugan said, "Unlike Nadhaswaram, which was entirely shot in a small village, Kula Deivam will have a city connect. There are two families -one is in the rural areas and the other is from the city. How these two families function differently is the main plot of this mega series. I have also sketched characters from three different generations. How they connect with each other is also one of the plots." [2]
