This contemporary romantic drama follows Sanjeevi, a smart young man, who arrives to see his friend Venkatachalam. Venkatachalam lives with his strong-willed and vivacious sister, Indumathi, a beautiful maid Thilagam and a slow-witted but kind servant Kasi.
Indumathi has a strong hatred for all men after having been rejected years ago, which amuses Sanjeevi and gives him scope for banter and wit with her. Just as the attraction and chemistry between the two blossoms into love, complications unfold. Thilagam becomes pregnant and Sanjeevi is pointed to as the culprit. Is Sanjeevi really the father of Thilagam's child? Is Indumathi right to think of all men as scoundrels? How will events unfold in the lives of these five intertwined lives?
