[edit] Plot
Karthik (Prithviraj) and Viji (Prakash Raj) are buddies. They play the keyboard in music director Vidyasagar’s team. They are fun loving, witty and share the occasional beer. They rent an apartment together; their new neighbour and apartment secretary, Ananthakrishnan (Brahmanandam), is not pleased with the fact that bachelors are occupying the flat. He asks them to vacate as bachelors are not allowed to live there. A girl (Neelima) from one of the apartments is attracted to Karthik.
One day Karthik sees Archana (Jyothika) on the road and he is quite impressed by her attitude and guts. Later he understands that she is a deaf and mute girl who lives in the same apartment complex. Karthik falls in love with her. Both Karthik and Viji try to find out more about her from Archana’s best friend Sheila (Swarnamalya). Karthik learns sign language and decides to make Archana his life partner, though she considers him only as a good friend. She gets angry at him because she thinks when she has a baby, it will be deaf and mute like her. She avoids Karthik, and so Karthik is left in pain. In the meantime, Viji falls in love with Sheila who is a widow. At the end when it is Sheila's and Viji's wedding, she confesses to Karthik that she does love him. In the end, Viji and Sheila get married and Archana and Karthik admit their love for each other.
