When Santhu reveals his love to Geetha, he is shocked to find that a planned marriage for Geetha had been arranged for her by her father.
Santhu's friends kidnap Geetha to prevent the union, and when ultimately Geetha and Santhu are caught together, her father and uncles give Santhu a beating and he is chased from the village.
