Shiva, a software engineer living in Chennai, arrives at his native village to attend the wedding of his relative. At the wedding, he falls under the spell of a beautiful woman (Sona) and decides to marry her at any cost. When he asks one of the villagers about her identity, he said that she is Jayanthi, the daughter of his uncle Aarusamy. Siva then convinces his parents to ask Aarusamy for giving his daughter in marriage but he turns out that Jayanthi is not the beautiful girl he saw at the wedding. An upset Shiva comes back to Chennai and his thoughts on the beautiful girl keep haunting him all the time.
His father Munya (Balu Anand) has arranged for an alliance with the beautiful girl he saw at the wedding, but Shiva is not aware of that and calls off the engagement without even seeing her. In the meantime, the beautiful girl named Sandhya bumps into the ex-serviceman Rajasekhar (P. K. Rajmohan) during a matrimonial meet and she is completely captivated by his good nature. Thereafter, Shiva finds the house of Sandhya and reveals her his love. Sandhya who has just married Rajasekhar is shocked and tells him that it is too late.
