Surendran joins a new company whose owner T S Muthaiah has twin daughters, Susheela and Sushama. Susheela is a traditional girl who wears traditional clothes and visits the temple frequently. Sushama is a modern girl who wears modern clothes and has a contemporary outlook. Muthiah wants to marry off one of his daughters to Surendran. Sushama falls in love with Surendran. Susheela on the other hand is in a relationship with Balan and has promised to marry him. Finally, the father decides to get Surendran married to Susheela and she doesn't object. This shatters Sushama. Balan too is shocked at Susheela's betrayal. <br />
Unable to stay in the same house as Surendran and her sister, Sushama leaves home and her father disowns her.<br />
<br />
Sushama starts staying at Balan's home. Balan has a bedridden mother. Everyone thinks Balan and Sushama are a couple though they aren't. Muthaiah leaves all his property to Susheela in his will but on his death bed, he has a change of heart and wants to alter his will, but dies before it can happen.<br />
<br />
Susheela doesn't want Surendran to know of her past and asks him to get Sushama married to Balan. Surendran thinks it is a good idea but Balan and Sushama resist the idea. Susheela gets pregnant in the meantime. Still in love with Surendran and unable to move past him, Sushama tries to commit suicide and Balan asks Susheela to come and see her. Susheela goes with him reluctantly and in a heated exchange of words, he slaps Susheela leading to her death. He quickly replaces Sushama with Susheela and fakes Susheela's suicide because he doesn't want to leave his bedridden mother helpless and alone. The police take Susheela's body for post-mortem where it is revealed that Susheela was three months pregnant.<br />
