Unable to get along with his father who compels him to marry a girl of his choice, the protagonist leaves for Chennai. He finds a job there and meets Seetha (Ashwini), whom he eventually marries. Once settled, he goes around looking for a house with the help of house broker - Kumari Muthu. Incidentally, he finds Seetha residing as a tenant in a portion under the very same house. He likes the portion and agrees to start living there.

The lives of the girls who live in portions of the large house are brightened by the appearance of the engineer from Lucknow. Of them, two of them try to impress Sharma. One of them is the house owner's daughter, while the other is Seetha. Eventually, he ends up marrying Seetha.
