Plot
[edit]Krishna and Tara have been friends in college. Tara is in love with Krishna but he does not reciprocate her love. Meanwhile, Lizy arrives as a new college girl and is bothered by groups of boys, including Vikram. Krishna fights the goons for her and falls in love. Lizy has had contempt for men, does not trust and falls in love with difficulty.
One evening, in revenge for Lizy, Vikram gives poison in the glass of Tara. Soon after Krishna leads her, he encounters an accident. The doctor admits that Tara is pregnant with Krishna's child, which confuses Krishna's brother Dharmaraj, his wife Anandhi and Lizy. Angry, she goes home with her parents. Krishna is looking for her and falls on the family.
Vikram confesses to Tara that he has gotten her pregnant and captures her. Krishna comes to the rescue. Suddenly, Krishna is attacked but defends himself by falling from the window. Tara returns to the hospital for treatment while Krishna and Lizy unite.

Reception
[edit]D. S. Ramanujam of The Hindu wrote, "If only director Kitty (Raja Krishnamurthy) had evolved some energetic situations to this oft-repeated theme, the lethargy that sets in the second portion making the viewers burrow further into their seats could have been avoided".[5]
