Kalyani goes swimming with friends in a river when she is carried away by a strong current. As she struggles, Kathiresan saves her, and they fall in love. Kalyani's father Viswanath is impressed by the young man's bravery and wishes to get them married on an auspicious day. Two days before the wedding, Kathiresan receives an anonymous letter inviting him to an abandoned bungalow. He goes and, in the cover of darkness, fights an anonymous foe. At the end of it, he finds at his feet a body with a knife sticking out of its back! He leaves the place hurriedly. The next morning, Kathiresan, shocking everyone, screams at the bride saying she is not of good conduct and refuses to go ahead with the wedding rituals. Meanwhile, police enter the scene, looking for the bridegroom who escapes. With the marriage stopped in a dramatic fashion, problems arise in the unhappy Viswanath's family. How they are solved and the marriage is performed forms the rest of the story.<br />
