Chitra Pournami (transl. The full moon in the month of Chithirai)[1] is a 1976 Indian Tamil-language film, directed by P. Madhavan and written by Balamurugan. The film stars Sivaji Ganesan, Jayalalithaa, R. Muthuraman and C. R. Vijayakumari.[2] It was released on 22 October 1976.[3]

Plot

Sengodan's parents are murdered by their zamindar and his sister gets separated from him on Chitra Pournami day. He vows vengeance on the same day and attempts to take the zamindar's life every year on that day. Several years later, he plans to kill the zamindar, but is shocked upon realising that his sister is now the landlord's cherished and beloved daughter-in-law leading a peaceful life.

Sengodan falls in love with the zamindar's daughter and marries her. He now has to decide which is greater: revenge or his present relations. Though he keeps tilting towards vengeance and the zamindar continues in different ways to get rid of him manipulating his relationship with his daughter as well as his daughter-in-law, he slowly softens. When the climatic moment arrived where the zamindar's life is in his hands, he hears his child crying upon being birthed, changes his mind and lets the zamindar live as he does not want his child to suffer the way he did without a father.
