Kausalya (Sheela) is a divorcee and she doesn't approve of her daughter Shobha's relationship with an aspiring film artist, Krishnachandran. Her friend Vijayamma also is in troubled marriage with Janardanan Nair (Jagathy Sreekumar) who is friends with Kausalyas ex-husband Divakaran Nair (Sukumaran). Both the men are alcoholics while the ladies find solace in a godman V.V. Swami (Vasudevab)(Jayan).

In their younger days, Kausalaya, Vijayamma, Divakaran and Janardanan were working together. Divakaran and Vijayamma fall in love, and Kausalya supports them. Later, Vijayamma ditches Divakaran for Janardanan who has a higher social and economic status. Kausalya tries to console a heartbroken Divakaran and they eventually falls for each other and they get married, and Shobha is born. But the marriage breaks down as Divakaran starts an affair with new colleague Susheela. Divakaran leaves his family for Susheela.

Back in the present, Shobha elopes with Krishnachandran to Madras. The couple start working on a movie which could not be completed due to creative difference with the director. A relative Thara (Nanditha Bose) an established actress, helps them. Kausalya, with a friend, reaches Madras to take her daughter back. But Shobha refuses to leave her husband.
