So Eeswar manipulates Priya's family as Prem Krishna, who is a foreign return. He manipulates Priya and makes her fall for him. Priya reveals that Malavika is her mother's dearest friend, so she has to accept Prem as her fiancé. Meanwhile, Priya discusses her love for Malavika and takes Prem to Malavika's house. Malavika meets Prem, talks with him, and likes him. Malavika invites Prem for lunch. Prem tries to kill them but narrowly evades capture.
