Sakhi (Divya), a gold medallist at her college, is an orphan and she completed her college degree thanks to the scholarship programme. After the graduation ceremony, she breaks down in tears as she has no one to turn to and nowhere to go. Her friend Rama ([[Meenal]]) then accommodates her at her home.

Later, Sakhi finds a job in a company. The company manager Shanmugam ([[Shanmugasundaram]]) warns her about the managing director Raja (Prabhu Sekhar) who spends his days drinking and hanging around with his friends at the beach. Sharma (K. Rajan), the company owner and father of Raja, is busy working overseas and hates his son's behaviour. Sakhi relentlessly pursues the drunkard Raja, makes him fall in love with her. Thereafter, Sakhi makes him change his bad habits and Raja is now ready to wed her. But just before the wedding, Sakhi kills him.

==Release==
A reviewer of the film noted "some clichéd, loosely etched, hastily put scenes here. If one has seen ''Baazigar'', one would find most of the scenes in the film familiar. But considering that the actors and the technicians are debutants, they have done a fairly creditable job."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.minnamutam.com/cinema/review/ensakiye.asp |title=Archived copy |website=www.minnamutam.com |access-date=13 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20010421021139/http://www.minnamutam.com/cinema/review/ensakiye.asp |archive-date=21 April 2001 |url-status=dead}}</ref>
