<br />
==Synopsis==<br />
Dr. Nataraj ([[Vishnuvardhan (actor)|Vishnuvardhan]]) is desperately seeking a lady doctor for his nursing home. His aunt ([[Leelavathi (actress)|Leelavathi]]) introduces him to her assistant, Doctor Roopa ([[Aarathi]]) who falls in love with him at first sight but is disappointed to know that he is only looking for a female assistant doctor. While family pressures force her to marry him, she refuses to consummate the marriage because of her grudge. Circumstances introduce another young woman Vasanthi ([[Vaishali Kasaravalli]]) as a second lady doctor in Nataraj's nursing home. The glamorous Vasanthi is more interested in the good looking Nataraj rather than her duty as a doctor. This deepens the rift between Nataraj and Roopa. How the differences are resolved for a happy ending forms the rest of the movie set against the backdrop of the nursing home.<br />
<br />
The film is based on the debut novel of famous Kannada author [[Usha Navaratnaram]]. Usha's novels mainly focussed on the problems of working women in the male dominated world. Usha herself being a doctor has written many novels with a female doctor as the center character, of which two - Hombisilu and Bandhana were made into films. Vishnu featured as the male lead in both. Despite the female-centric theme, Vishnuvardhan did hold his own against the indomitable heroines - [[Aarathi]] in Hombisilu and Suhasini in [[Bandhana]] - who were considered his equals in the craft - and impressed the intelligent Kannada audience. The two films fetched him his two state awards.<br />
