Kavitha, who is part of a large family, is to be married to Chandramohan, a lawyer. Kavita was playing with a little girl while Chandru is seen capturing photos of statues. Kavitha's brother (Nassar), who wrongly assumes both of them to be in love with each other, starts hitting Chandru. The whole family suspects Kavitha for falling in love and refuses to believe her explanation.
