Plot[edit]

Anjali is the third daughter of a late music teacher. She lives with her two elder sisters, Ashwathy and Aarthi, and grandmother. Her life changes when Gopi moves to his brother's house as her neighbor. They fall in love. However, she has a problem with their marriage since she has two elder unmarried sisters. Gopi finds a groom for Ashwathy, but the marriage is called off as she is mute and deaf. After two failed attempts to get her married, they all feel hopeless when out of the blue, Gopi's friend admits that he loves Ashwathy. Hence, Gopi helps him marry her. Following this, they try to get Aarthi married; but she admits to never having gotten over her old boyfriend. Gopi and Anjali track him down and ask him to marry her. He admits to liking her but reveals that his mother would ask for a lot of dowry. Gopi does everything he can, including making his brother loan out his house to obtain the money and the ornaments they demanded, which were provided by Aarthi's boyfriend himself.

However, that night, when their drunkard step-brother steals the ornaments from Anjali's house, Gopi finds him and accidentally kills him. He confesses to Anjali that he killed him, but they hide this until Aarthi's wedding is over. Eventually, Gopi is arrested in front of the wedding guests.[2]

After five years, when Gopi is back from jail, Anjali and her whole family are waiting for him, and the movie ends on a positive note.
