==Plot==
The story revolves around Bhanumathy ([[Padmapriya Janakiraman|Padmapriya]]) who marries Rathnavel Kalidas ([[Nithin Sathya]]), a man who works in railways as a [[field hockey|hockey]] player. He married Bhanu by hiding the facts that he is [[impotent]] and a recovering [[alcoholism|alcoholic]]. Soon, the relationship turns sour when the couple realizes that Rathnavel is impotent after a [[gynecology|gynecologist]] ([[Suhasini]]) tells them so. In spite of family pressures to get a mutual [[divorce]], the old-fashioned Bhanu decides to go ahead with the marriage by adopting a child. With the baby's arrival, Rathnavel unfortunately becomes more insecure and tells Bhanu that the child reminds him about his weakness. Unfortunately, all hell breaks loose when Bhanu realizes that her husband was an alcoholic who knew about his impotency and had betrayed her. Rathnavel, in his anger, beats up Bhanu until she is almost unconscious. A few days later, she files for a [[divorce]] and stays with her parents for some days. Bhanu later meets Ravichandran ([[Prithviraj Sukumaran|Prithviraj]]), a happy-go-lucky guy who is a friend of her brother ([[Raaghav]]). Ravi proposes to Bhanu, and they later get married, but Rathnavel, who had vowed to make life miserable for Bhanu, returns. He kidnaps Bhanu and places a [[cadaver]] in her home before faking an accident with a [[cooking gas]] [[gas cylinder|cylinder]], leading Ravi and his family to believe that Bhanu died in a kitchen accident. After that, Rathnavel brings Bhanu to his [[bungalow]] in an isolated area and locks her in a soundproof room. When Ravi goes to Rathnavel's house to get some [[life insurance]] papers, a series of clues lead him to find Bhanu. After distracting Rathnavel, Ravi calls the police and rescues Bhanu. Rathnavel is sent to a [[mental asylum]], where he later [[hanging|hangs himself]]. This seems to be a true story which happened in [[Andhra Pradesh]] in the late 1990s, and Rathnavel's (name changed) family members are still there in [[Kakinada]], but the movie ends with a happy note when we see that Ravi and Bhanu are still happily married and Bhanu is visibly [[pregnancy|pregnant]].
