Ramesh, a city bred man is married to Kasthuri, a village girl. On the other hand, Ravishankar, a village lad and Menaka, a modern woman are married. Menaka hates living with Ravishankar as he does not show interest in sex life. Meanwhile, Bhama, a young girl wants at least to have a child with Ramesh, and is attracted by him even if he does not marry her. The film ends with these people overcoming all their issues and living happily, except Bhama, who commits suicide.
