Plot

Chellapa (Jayaram) lives in a village owning a photo studio along with his friends Chinne Jayanth and Vadivelu. Mary (Bhanu Priya) comes to the village and rents a house opposite to Kalyan Kumar’s house. Kalyan Kumar’s house is named “Gokulam” where he lives with his wife (Janaki) and a daughter Uma (Yuvasri).

Kalyan Kumar also has a son named Kannan (Arjun) but has been abandoned by the family members for marrying a girl without the family’s consent. But the family regularly receives money order from Kannan. Although Kalyan Kumar has changed his mind and accepted Kannan, he still does not return home. Everyone in Gokulam thinks that it is only Kannan’s wife who does not allow him to reunite with his family.

Mary gets close to Gokulam family members and attends singing classes from Kalyan Kumar. Mary helps everyone in the family as and when required. Chellapa falls in love with Mary and proposes her. But Mary tells her flashback to Chellapa which shocks him.

Mary’s original name is Gayatri and she sings well. Gayatri and Kannan love each other. Gayatri is a rich girl but has no parents or relative except for a guardian Jai Shankar who has plans to get his son Vasanth (S. N. Vasanth) married to Gayatri. But Gayatri informs Jai Shankar about her love towards Kannan for which he agrees immediately. Gayatri feels happy. Kanna requests the wedding to happen after a few days as he has to take care of his poor family. He says that his sister’s wedding should happen first.

Gayatri agrees for this and an engagement is planned between them on Gayatri’s birthday. But Vasanth gets furious knowing about this and decides to kill Kannan. Vasanth sends a few thugs to kill Kannan. Kannan fights them, but gets stabbed at his back. He comes to the function and dies in front of Gayatri. Jai Shankar hands over his son Vasanth to police and is jailed. Gayatri cries and feels bad that Kannan lost his life only because of loving her and decides to help Kannan’s family. Kannan has already informed his family about his love which they didn’t agree. Gayatri writes a letter to Kannan’s parents that he has married against his parents’ wishes.

Gayatri comes to Kannan’s village in the name of Mary and sends money order to Kannan’s parents every month in the name of Kannan which makes them believe that their son is living in Chennai along with his wife. She also writes letters in the name of Kannan to his parents. Chellapa feels proud of Gayatri and promises not to inform anyone about her real identity.

Kannan’s sister Uma’s wedding is arranged. But Gayatri comes to know that Uma earlier had a lover (Raja Ravinder) who ditched her and now is blackmailing her about revealing their old photographs taken together to everyone which will impact her marriage. Gayatri decides to help Uma and she goes to Raja Ravinder’s home alone in search of the photographs. She finds the photos and burns them into ashes. Suddenly the guy comes and tries molesting Gayatri but Chellapa comes and rescues Gayatri. Crowd gathers around and Raja Ravinder lies that he has an illegitimate relationship with Gayatri which shocks her. But Gayatri could not reveal her real purpose of visiting his home at night as that would affect Uma’s wedding. Finally Gayatri accepts the blame and everyone ditches her for her morally incorrect behaviour.

The village people ask Gayatri to vacate immediately but she requests them to allow her to stay for one day so that she can attend Uma’s wedding and them leave. Despite opposition, Gayatri attends Uma’s wedding, but is insulted by Kalyan Kumar. Dejected Gayatri leaves the village immediately and she has decided to accept a previous offer of going on a world tour performing stage shows along with his friend.

Chellapa informs Kalyan Kumar about all the truth and they realize their mistake. Kalyan Kumar and Chellapa rush to Gayatri’s house, but she has left before that. Finally the movie ends showing Kalyan Kumar waiting in the village railway station daily morning for Gayatri’s return.
