He received his diploma in automobile engineering. He is jobless, but is not trying to find a job. He is active in the church choir and a drama group. He has ambitions to make it to films.
His father shares his dramatic pursuits. The two go to rehearsals together and come home late, causing Mary to worry. Paul, who is a banker, is a critic of the duo and their pursuit of stardom.
Bhavana (Samyuktha Varma) is a young girl from a poor family. She works to support her mentally unstable mother. She goes door-to-door selling various products. Roy, who was looking for a heroine for a production, bumps into Bhavana, who is willing to take the role because she needs money. Slowly he falls in love with her. He later marries her against his father's wish and Thomman asks them to move out.
