Ramachandra "Ramu" is a [[professor]] at a college in [[Bangalore]], who is married to Gowri, the daughter of a [[Advocate|lawyer]] for his mother's wishes, but is brooding over his past relationship with his cousin/love interest Lalitha, when her father refused to let Ramu marry Lalitha, due to some internal disputes. After their marriage, Ramu is distant from Gowri, who remains devoted to Ramu and is yearning for her husband's love. Ramu's parents observe his behaviour and leave for their village, hoping that their absence unites the couple. Gowri asks Ramu about his negligent behaviour towards her, but to no avail. When Ramu visits his lecturer friend, he sees that his friend is happily married to Lalitha and has a child. He realizes his mistake of brooding over the past for too long and neglecting Gowri and heads to meet her at a temple. When Ramu meets Gowri, the latter meets with an accident. Ramu admits her to a hospital and spends the night by her side. In the morning, the two make up and Ramu asks Gowri to forgive him for ignoring her. | |||
