Synopsis: Bomman (Vikram Prabhu) makes a living renting his elephant Manikkam for temple functions and marriages. Because of a medical emergency in a mahout's family, he takes up the job of keeping a wild tusker out of a village nestled deep in the forests.
Though Manickam is not a kumki (elephant used to train or drive away wild elephants), they stay on after Bomman falls in love with the village chieftain's daughter Alli (Lakshmi Menon). But there is a heavy price to pay.
Kumki Movie Review: M M A Chinappa Devar was a pioneer in using animals in his films, and tasted success in both the Hindi and Tamil industries with movies such as Haathi Mere Saathi, Maa and Nalla Neram. Producer-director Rama Narayanan followed in his footsteps, though he was not as successful. Sadly, films featuring animals have now become very rare, the last being Azhagarsamiyin Kuthirai that was released in 2010.
