	The protagonists are three children — Nilaa (Baby Ranjini Pradeep), Amirdhalingam "Amar" (Master Dinesh) and Balasubramaniam "Pulli" (Master Udayaraj).

The two boys work in a garage for the owner ([[Bala Singh]]) which is next to Nilaa's house.

	Nilaa, daughter of a popular actress, Veni ([[Roja (actress)\|Roja]]), who is estranged from her husband, has all the material comforts but yearns for company. Nilaa watches her mother shoot for a film with actor Ashok ([[Prabhu Deva]]). Soon, she strikes a friendship with the boys. The children `plan' a picnic and Nilaa provides the car, food and the works. Their excitement knows no bounds. But that day proves to be the last day of their carefree laughter, childish pranks... their innocence-filled childhood.
