Arathi is a shy girl, who is silent, a daydreamer and loves poetry whereas Maya is her roommate and best friend who is naughty and plays pranks on hostel mates. Victor loves Arathi but is afraid to express his love. At a college event, Vinayachandran who is well known to Maya's family and deputy collector of the city comes as the guest and he praises Aarathy after listening to her poetry. Meanwhile, Maya realizes that Arathi has a crush on Vinayan. Seeing this as an opportunity to make Aarathy come out of her shell, Maya compels her friend to write letters to Arathi posing as Vinayan. Arathi truly falls in love with Vinayan, whereas he doesn't have a clue about this. Meanwhile, Maya's parents arrange her marriage with Vinayan as he is in love with Maya. Maya also starts loving Vinayan. Soon Maya forces Arathi to forget Vinayan as she feels guilty and both friends break up. With the help of Victor, Arathi comes to meet Vinayan but realizes that he is marrying Maya. Arathi has a mental breakdown. Victor takes care of her. Vinayan visits her and tells her the truth and both the friends reunite.
