), who falls in love with her brother-in-law, Sundar(Srikanth

Sundar drops his niece at school every day and he meets his girlfriend Anandi (Samvritha) there. When his brother gets to know about their relationship, he is very excited. Unfortunately, his brother commits suicide soon afterward. Arundathi claims that his work problems caused his suicide. Sundar is tied down taking care of his brother's family as Arundathi and Aishwarya have nowhere to go.
Arundathi keeps Anandi at bay by doing everything possible from her side. She tries her best to break Sundar's relationship with Anandi while subtly hinting to Sundar about her love for him. Anandi warns Sundar about his conniving Sister-in-Law but nothing comes out of it. She causes them to break up.
What happens to Sundar and Anandi? Does Arundathi succeed in foiling their love? what she will do with her daughter 'ramya'? or All the questions form the rest of the story.
The movie was a runaway success as it was a bold theme and the current events at the time of release were also of similar nature. Especially the female welfare organizations welcomed it for the main question of "why cant the wife do for the well being of the children if husband can do?"
