Kandha is a 2012 Indian Tamil-language film directed by Rama Narayanan.
The film is loosely based on Poova Thalaiya (1969) and follows the story of Parvathi, a rich and arrogant woman who leads her life with her three sons – Kandha, Kadamba, and Kathirvela. The sons are obedient to their mother and run a restaurant in Chennai.
Parvathi has disowned her daughter Mallika, who is married to Vadivelan, a barber. Vadivelan sets out to teach Parvathi a lesson by arranging for his sons to be married against her wishes. Kandha is married to Rupini, Kadamba to Rohini, and Kathir to Ragini.
Parvathi's original plan was to marry her sons off to a rich family from London in exchange for a hefty dowry, but she dislikes her daughters.
