Sivakumar and Sujatha are a happily married couple with a daughter. Their son falls in love. The father of the son's love interest is a wealthy man Senthamarai. Initially unwilling, both the families finally agree to marry their children. On the wedding day, Senthamarai tries to stop the marriage stating that the bride (son) is not the child of their parents. Sivakumar takes us to the flashback from thereon. It is revealed that Sivakumar had a love interest Ambika in the past who is the mother of his son (the bridegroom). He delays marrying her since he's already married to Sujatha. Things take a turn when both Sujatha and Ambika befriend each other. Towards the climax, Sujatha finds out that Ambika and Sivakumar have a son together and confronts her. She bursts out in anger which makes Ambika sick. Ambika becomes bedridden and in her death bed, Sivakumar ties the knot to her with Sujatha's blessings.

Reception
Jayamanmadhan of Kalki felt it has become a fashion to give new colour to old plots and added all the actors performed well but none of them gets registered in the mind and concluded that director should be asked for this.[5]
