His impression for Meena increases when he knows that she is blind.
Dolly (Roopa) is a cousin of Suresh. She is in deep love with him. Her father Kota encourages his daughter to marry very rich Suresh. Meena completes her studies by getting the state first rank. She takes up the profession of a lawyer.
Vasu (Murai Mohan), father of Meena, decides to marry his daughter to Suresh after coming to know their love story. When Vasu goes to Suresh's house with the marriage proposal, he realizes that the aunt of Suresh is none but his divorced wife Kousalya (Lakshmi).
In the flash-back, Vasu and Kousalya have differences when they realized that their baby girl is blind. Vasu is in favor of accepting her and Kousalya wants to get rid of her daughter by keeping the baby in an orphanage.
