Aahwanam 1997

Ravi Kumar, Srikanth, is a man who believes money is the only thing that matters in life, even more than family ties and affection. His world changes after he visits a village and stages a drama that leads to his marriage with Rajeswari, a traditional woman from a wealthy family, portrayed by Ramya Krishnan. They live happily for a while until Ravi encounters Sireesha, a wealthier unmarried businesswoman who falls for him, played by Heera Rajgopal. Ravi, focused on her money, lies to Sireesha that he is married, but recently divorced. In order to marry Sireesha, Ravi files for divorce, devastating Rajeswari. Unwilling to lose her husband due to his greed, Rajeswari tries in many different ways to change his mindset. When nothing works, Rajeswari accepts the divorce, but with the condition that her divorce be held as a grand ceremony, just as her marriage. At this event, in front of a statue of Goddess Raja Rajeswari, Rajeswari lights a yajna fire and holds her hair up asking Ravi to remove mangalsutra, then suddenly Ravi has a vision where it is Goddess Durga sitting in the place of Rajeswari, while threatening him with a trident (because the mangalsutra worn by Rajeswari was coincidentally identical to the one worn by Durga). A terrified Ravi, realizes the importance and sanctity of marriage and apologizes to his wife, who presents him a garland to remarry her again.
