Snehalatha becomes the principal of a college where Shyam and Shivan are the heroes. Shyam and Shivan are fun-filled characters as well as naughty. Aparna, who happens to be the daughter of the principal's friend, is teased and ragged by the duo.
Aparna lodges a complaint, and Snehalatha takes action against Shyam and Shivan. Soon, to her surprise, she discovers that Shyam and Shivan are orphans, hardworking their way up the ladder, and their guardian is a priest. But the real twist to the story happens when Shyam and Shivan learn that one of them is her long-lost son.
