Surya is a wealthy businessman, who lives with his wife, Jayanthi and their children, Rajesh and Kalyani. Rajesh is a college student. Although his children are of marriageable age, Surya remains a terribly lustful and lascivious womaniser. Jayanthi is a soft-spoken and traditional wife, but she is terribly hurt and aggrieved by Surya's illicit activities.
When Rajesh marries Shobhna, a beautiful woman with high principles, she vows to teach her father-in-law a lesson in the importance of treating women with respect. Will Shobhna succeed in forcing Surya to realise the error of his ways?
