Plot
[edit | edit source]Sivakumar and Sujatha are a happily married couple with a daughter. Their son falls in love. The father of the son's love interest is a wealthy man Senthamarai. Initially unwilling, both the families finally agree to marry their children. On the wedding day, Senthamarai tries to stop the marriage stating that the bride (son) is not the child of their parents. Sivakumar takes us to the flashback from thereon. It is revealed that Sivakumar had a love interest Ambika in the past who is the mother of his son (the bride). He delays marrying her since he's already married to Sujatha. Things take a turn when both Sujatha and Ambika befriend each other. Towards the climax, Sujatha finds out that Ambika and Sivakumar have a son together and confronts her. She bursts out in anger which makes Ambika sick. Ambika becomes bedridden and in her death bed, Sivakumar ties the knot to her with Sujatha's blessings. But she embraces death handing over her son to Sujatha-Sivakumar duo. In return from flashback, Senthamarai apologises and agress to the marriage and the film ends with their marriage.
