Plot

Raja is the grandson of a rich businesswoman and is settled in London. He comes to a village in India to see his grandmother. Chembaruthi is the sister of a poor fisherman Pandi, who works in Raja's grandmother's house. The couple first sees each other during Raja's birthday party, and it is love at first sight for Raja. They meet often, and their love grows by leaps and bounds. Raja's grandmother wants him to marry Malathy, the daughter of a rich seafood exporter named Murugan. At the party, they announce Raja's interest in Malathy. Raja realises that his relationship with the daughter of a poor fisherman is not taken kindly by his eccentric grandmother, and when she discovers Raja's love for Chembaruthi, she accuses Pandi of using his sister's beauty and charm to trap Raja for his money. She even offers Pandi cash to have Chembaruthi stop seeing Raja. Pandi feels very humiliated by this accusation and reciprocates by insulting Raja's grandmother. Their conversation enters a deadlock, spelling doom for Raja and Chembaruthi's tender love.

Raja's grandmother then engages him to be married to Malathy in order to establish business ties with her rich father. Murugan also has his sister betrothed to a fisherman named Kumar, but Raja and Chembaruthi run away from home. Raja's grandmother announces a reward for anyone who can help find her grandson. Murugan decides that he wants the money. He and his goons find the lovers, abduct them, and lock them up in a boat. Raja fights for Chembaruthi and saves her from drowning in the sea. Raja's grandmother then realises that their love is very strong, and she does not want to stand in the way of their happiness. She and Pandi accept their love and give their blessings to the union.

Cast

Production

After the success of Captain Prabhakaran (1991), director R. K. Selvamani decided to make a film completely with newcomers which became Chembaruthi. He initially cast debutants such as Raman Kapoor from Mumbai, Suchithra Krishnamurthy and Gayathri (of Aranmanai Kili) in lead roles; however after shooting half of the film, he was unimpressed and scrapped it. Selvamani eventually cast Prashanth and Roja in the lead roles.[5] During the production of Urudhi Mozhi, its producer Ravi Yadav approached Saravanan Sivakumar, later known as Suriya, to portray the lead role in Chembaruthi; however Saravanan's father Sivakumar refused the offer.[6]
