Neelima is a banker and is married to Pavithran. Aniruddhan ([[Kailash (actor)|Kailash]]) (a childhood friend of Pavithran) and Suryanarayanan (a friend of Aniruddhan) convince Pavithran to start a catering unit which would yields huge profits within a year. The catering unit would have 3 partners - Aniruddhan, Pavithran and Suryanarayanan and each partner needs to invest money. Pavithran mortgages his land and house to raise the money. Suryanarayanan and Aniruddhan inform Pavithran that there is a shortage of {{INR|30 lakhs}} which would take a week to arrange and they may lose the business deal. Neelima places fake gold at the bank and hands over {{INR|30 lakhs}} to her husband and Aniruddhan on the assurance that {{INR|30 lakhs}} would be returned within a week to the bank. Both Aniruddhan and Suryanarayanan cheat Pavithranan and abscond with the money. Unable to withstand the criticism Neelima who was 6 months pregnant commits suicide.
