Prabhakaran, a poet, lives with his mother and his father. Prabhakaran has two friends Raja and Murugan who are like his brothers. A classical dancer admires his poems. His ambition is passing the IAS exams and becoming a collector at all costs before the marriage. Prabhakaran's father and Ramanathan are close friends and they decide to get Prabhakaran and Ramanathan's daughter Meena married. Meena is a very sensitive girl. Prabhakaran cannot accept and tries to cancel the marriage whereas Meena falls in love with her future groom Prabhakaran. Prabhakaran refuses for the marriage as a consequence Meena commits suicide because of a misinterpretation. Meena's family blames the innocent Prabhakaran. He feels guilty and decides to marry Meena's younger sister Manju, a playful girl. What transpires later forms the crux of the story.
