The girl refuses to treat her former servant as her husband. He then conspires with a nurse (C. R. Vijayakumari) and feigns to make love to her to create jealousy in his wife. It works and finally the husband and wife rejoin happily.[2]

Release and reception[]

Vazhikatti was released in 1965 after being in deadlock for nearly three years. T. M. Ramachandran of Sport and Pastime said the film's release "in an unostentatious manner raised some doubts as to its quality. But all the misgivings have vanished into thin air and it has turned out to be above average". He praised the performances of the lead trio, along with Padmanabhan's writing, Ibrahim's music and Perumal's direction.[2] The Indian Express wrote, "A bane of the Tamil cinema is exaggeration – in characterisation and incidents. It has spoiled or considerably lessened the effect of many a good theme. The latest victim is Kanaka Movies' Vazhikatti."[4]
