Embedded with wry humour and social relevance, this satirical romantic drama delves into concepts of marriage, fidelity, tradition and attraction through the twists and turns in the life of Subramaniam, a lawyer who is married to Kokila, a traditional wife, and has a daughter.
Things go well until he meets Kamini, a movie star in a party. Bewitched and captivated by Kamini's glamour and sophistication, he lets his infatuation become so all consuming that he becomes ready to sacrifice his own family for her. Kokila's efforts in bringing back her husband forms the rest of the story.
