Plot

Priya and Saradha (both played by Bhanupriya) are twins. Priya is a spoiled brat, while Saratha is very traditional and calm-natured. Their mother Subha (Manjula Vijayakumar) is a party lover and spends all their money for her luxury life. She married their father for his wealth, but the twins' grandfather Damodaran (M. N. Nambiar), an industrialist, declines to give a single penny to Subha after his son's death because of her nature. Priya grows up with Damodaran, and Saradha is with Subha in Singapore. Saradha longs for her grandfather and the life in India, while Priya despises it.

Manikkam (Vijayakanth) is a good-natured man who goes to jail for the crime committed by his friend Chandru (Chandrasekhar). Upon release, he travels in a ship back to India. Damodaran and Priya travel in the same ship after winning a court battle with Subha on their wealth. Manikkam saves Damodaran from Subha's goons. Damodaran hires Manikkam as a manager in his factory . Priya hates Manikkam right from the start and makes several attempts to kick him out. She accuses him for trying to rape her on her birthday, and Damodharan uses this as a chance to get them married, believing only Mannikkam can love and put up with her behaviour. She continues to hate him, but she changes her behaviour when she learns about her grandfather's will. She cannot spend a penny from his wealth if she doesn't lead a family life with Manikkam, and she will be eligible to become the owner of his properties only if she becomes a mother. She tries to get pregnant but with no success. Her friends criticize her for not becoming a mother and they go to a doctor for treatment. The doctor reveals to Manikkam that his wife is sterile, and Manikkam decides to take the blame as Priya will be broken if she knew the truth.

Priya ask for divorce, but Manikkam disagrees. she treats him with disrespect and runs off to Singapore. Saradha advises her to go back, but she challenges her to take her place for a month and then she will agree with her. Saradha uses this chance and travels to Chennai to be with her grandfather. Manikkam showers her with love, and she struggles to maintain distance. She almost ends up in his bed and somehow manages to fall herself from stairs to keep him at distance. They decide to go on a leisure trip where she drinks a drug unknowingly, and end up in Manikkam's bed. She decides to kill herself, but is stopped by Damodaran, who knew from first that she is Saradha. Damodaran plays a drama and gets Saradha and Manikkam married. Saradha gets pregnant and travels to Singapore for delivery.

Meanwhile, Subha is in debt. Pradeep (Nassar), a rich businessman, is attracted to Priya and wants her in his bed. Subha sees this as a way to pay her debts and agrees to send Priya to him for an exchange of 10 lakh rupees. Priya has frequent stomach pain and collapses while escaping Pradeep. At a hospital, she finds out that she has cancer in uterus and is sterile. She sees a very pregnant Saradha in the same hospital and realize the truth, that Manikkam was not sterile.
