Plot[edit]

Wealthy Chandrasekhar (Sivaji Ganesan) wants to see his only heir, grandson Raja (Suresh) marry a home-loving girl. When he falls seriously ill, his personal doctor (Jaishankar) prevails upon Raja to bring his girl friend home and seek his grandfather's blessings. Since Geetha (Pavithra) is out of town, Raja seeks the help of his friend (Y. G. Mahendra) to find a suitable girl to play act the role until the grandfather gets well. They approach Radha (Revathi), an innocent flower girl, and convince her to pose as Raja's fiancée. While Radha wins over the grandfather and the entire family with her simple charm. Things however get complicated with the arrival of Geetha and her mother (Y. Vijaya) who turns out to be superficial and only interested in the family fortune. While Radha understands the gravity of the situation, cannot reveal the truth and risk putting Chandrasekhar's life in danger.
