Plot
Professor Krishnan is a role model; honest and austere, he is a staunch follower of Swami Vivekananda. His principle in life is "Duty First". He is a perfectionist to the extent where people correct their clocks based on his schedule. He considers marriage as an hindrance and women as diversion. His only aim is to take care of his mother and get Gomathi, his niece married. He "adopts" Ramu, an orphan, as a brother and helps educate him. Gomathi and Ramu fall in love. Radha, a student, seduces Krishnan in a slow and steady manner and their affair turns out to cause his doom.
Radha is presumed dead in an accident and the blame falls on Krishnan which causes his mother to die and him go through a lengthy and scandalous trial. He is declared innocent as Radha's body is never found but the society which respected him has now shunned him. He attempts suicide but a dog he once rescued saves him dying in the process. He takes this as a message and decides to dedicate his new life, given by the dog, in service of others taking up the name of Moorthy.
Radha, meanwhile, has lost her memory and is in care of Sankar who intends to marry her. Gomathi too has become destitute. Moorthy joins work in Sankar's quarry, meets Gomathi, gets her married to Ramu while keeping away from Radha believing that she manipulated the whole situation to ruin him unaware of her amnesia. In the end, all confusions get cleared with Radha and Moorthy getting married.

Release and reception
Aandavan Kattalai was released on 12 June 1964.[7] In Sport and Pastime, T. M. Ramachandran wrote, "Screenplaywright Javar Seetharaman, cameraman Thambu and director K. Shankar appear to have jointly worked hard and contributed their talent in turning Aandavan Kattalai into a good movie, but they have compromised a great deal to make it a money-spinner. They are capable of better work and, if they had carefully attended to all the details, they would have perhaps made Aandavan Kattalai a very notable film".[8] Kanthan of Kalki praised Thambu's cinematography and called the film yet another winner from P. S. V. Pictures.[9]
