The young heiress, Pooja, is the daughter of the owner of a palace, and has a haunted past. Her husband was a sadist, and she ran away to her native village. Her mother finds out where she is and also comes to the village. Pooja does not want to go with her mother. Hence, she acts like a memory-loss patient and says that their neighbour, Siddharthan, is her husband and his adopted children are their children. Thus, her mother allows Pooja to stay in the village. Pooja's husband finds her and comes to get her back. Pooja tells Siddharthan that she does not want to go with her husband. Siddharthan fights Pooja's husband, and in the end, Gouri's father shoots Pooja's husband and goes to prison. Pooja leaves the house and Siddharthan joins his girlfriend, Gauri.
