Embedded with wry humour and social relevance, this satirical romantic drama delves into concepts of marriage, fidelity, tradition and attraction through the twists and turns in the life of Subramaniam, a lawyer who is married to Kokila, a traditional wife, and has a daughter.
Things go well until he meets Kamini, a movie star in a party. Bewitched and captivated by Kamini's glamour and sophistication, he lets his infatuation become so all consuming that he becomes ready to sacrifice his own family for her.
