    Plot

    [edit]

    Anand and Vaishali are college students. Anand falls in love with Vaishali at first sight. When Anand reveals her his love, Vaishali rejects it and she ridicules him. Since that day, he follows her everywhere to tease her. She then complains to the police. Soon, Vaishali becomes pregnant and hides the father's name to her parents. Feeling ashamed about her pregnancy, her family moves to Ooty.

    Vaishali finally reveals to her parents that she was raped by a stranger. After giving birth, she drops the baby in front of the rapist's house. Anand didn't understand anything. He was also a student and was the other Anand's worst enemy. Anand was arrested mistakenly and beaten by the police for teasing Vaishali.

    Anand takes care of the baby. Anand thinks that the rapist is Anand. Both Anands fight among themselves but they turn out to be innocents in this affair. In the meantime, Vaishali befriends Raja. What transpires later forms the crux of the story.

    Reception

    [edit]

    D. S. Ramanujam of The Hindu wrote, "An out of the way story line of a college girl forcibly  seduced by  a student, goes through the pregnancy and hands over the  new born to the rightful father making him repent for his action  has not  been dealt with the seriousness such an issue requires.  The artistes  chosen  have also not been properly guided  to  produce something  extra".[4]
