{{More plot|date=February 2017}}
The film revolves around Siddharthan, a [[bank]] manager, a man who has different outlook to life. He wants to be perfect in every thing that he does and even wants people around him to accept the way he thinks. He lacks love from his parents and develops hatred towards his father, a judge, who was responsible for the death of their servant and his family, who were the only friends of Siddharthan. Growing up Siddharthan becomes very narrow minded and looks at every one else's behavior with doubt and prejudice. He doubts the relationship between his wife Renjini and her friend Capt. Mahendran to the extent that he warns Mahendran from ever entering his house to meet Renjini. Renjini is not able to adjust with his crazy lifestyle. She wants to become self-reliant but this creates suspicion in Siddharthan's mind. On his birthday when Renjini out of her earnings from a part-time job (that Siddarth is unaware of) buys him a tie, he doubts her of infidelity and in a resulting argument and in the subsequent struggle Ranjini falls down the stairs and goes into coma and later on she dies. Siddhartha loses his [[mental balance]]. Later he ends up in a mental asylum, where he writes a diary recounting and recollecting the deeds that he has done and repents for it. Meanwhile, a researcher from America Miriyana Varghese develops a friendship with Siddharthan and makes him her subject for her research. Siddharthan unaware of her motives, develops feelings for her which gets shattered when he finds out about the research. Ultimately, Siddharthan who thinks that the only way to reconcile with his dead wife and to be loved is to commit suicide and he kills himself.
