Aswathy's parents are dead, and she lives with her uncles, the eldest of whom ([[Vijayaraghavan]]) wants to gain her inheritance by arranging a marriage between his son and Aswathy. Aswathy accidentally gets into the autorickshaw of Unni when she is going to meet her future husband. During the ride, Unni falls in love with her and delays bringing Aswathy to her destination.

She becomes fed up with him and decides to tell her uncle. She and her uncle plan to make fun of him and calls Unni to her house.
