Meanwhile Gauthami who is the lecturer of the college falls in love with Kamalhassan.At one incident Karan breaks the wash basin glass on his head and he put the blame on Kamalhassan and asks him to say sorry.
In this scene Kamal has done a great job in his acting and at first he says sorry and then continues that that this sorry is for not able to change Karan.However he personally asks sorry to Karan at last due to the pressure from the management and Karan's gang.
At one point of time one of the student fell down from the floor and when he was taken to thhe hospital Kamal refuses to give blood in spite of having the same blood group and he calls the blood bank and asks for help.He will leave the hospital and reaches home and Gauthami seeing all these incidents will scold Kamal for not having humanity.
At that time Senthil, who acts as the servant to Kamal, reveals the secret thet Kamal was suffering from Cancer and he cannot involve in any kind of Blood transormation as it will be danger for the patient.Gauthami feels sorry and Kamal asks her to promise, not to say this to anyone.

During the inter college day function Karan comes and breaks all the musical instruments , but in spite of that Kamal managed to help the students to gain confidence and he also performs in that function without any musical instruments but with the help of mimicry and also used hands and mouths to produce sounds.
This song is "Ethilum Valvlan Da..." which was sung by Kamal Hassan along with S. P. Balasubrahmanyam
When the function was over, Karan kidnaps Nirmala.Kamal and Nagesh rescue her from the police station.But Nirmala couldn't tolerate this and she hangs herself the next morning when Nagesh was not there.On hearing this Nagesh comes to the house and cries and it is for this acting Nagesh gor the Best Supporting Actor - National Award(Silver Lotus Award)
Nirmala lover was very angry and he goes directly to Ramesh to kill him.Kamal tries to save Ramesh but he was injured in this incident and tells others the reason why Ramesh behaves in this manner.
He says that this college was the place which transformed him to good position because he was also like Ramesh when he studied college abut he had a siste to show affection and change him, whereas Ramesh dont have mother and there was no one to take care of him.This scene was also very much appreciated.
