Both brothers fall in love with their rich uncle's daughter Kavitha ([[Nadia Moidu|Nadia]]) and try to woo her. But Kavitha's parents deny the alliance as the brothers are neither rich nor educated. Kavitha and her family are sent out of the village by the brother's mother due to this refusal. She also prohibits her sons to visit that uncle's family on any personal cause.
