	Ignorant of the fact, but with good intention, Ganesan offers a job to ~~Raghu~~. Later, he learns about the fact and gets despaired.

Vadivelu tactfully implicates Raghu in a murder attempt case and sends him to prison on the day of marriage, minutes before the rituals. In such a distressing condition, Valli's father, with no other option remaining, pleads with Ganesan to marry Valli. He readily agrees and marries her.

	But Ganesan feels guilty of cheating Valli and keeps distance with her. Valli, although not interested in this wedding, slowly starts liking Ganesan's good character. Three months pass by and one day Valli overhears Ganesan's conversation with his brother and finds out the truth. She gets angry and locks herself in a room.

Valli reveals that she pretended to vomit to just check ~~Raghu~~'s trust on her. As he has no trust in her, Valli says that Ganesan is the one who really trusts her and loves her truly. Meanwhile Ganesan attempts suicide by jumping off a waterfall, but is saved by a net placed for cinema shooting, at the bottom. Ganesan and Valli unite in the end.
