Plot

Ayeshmantha (Roshan), the son of a wealthy businessman, is placed in charge of his father’s businesses. He falls in love with a girl who, one day, shocks him when she gives him an invitation card to her wedding ceremony. Ayeshmantha was deeply disturbed to discover that she was marrying somebody else. This made him to lose interest in everything else, including his father's businesses, and thought all hope was lost. In his despair, he decided to leave home; while in the throes of disappointment, he makes an attempt at suicide.

It is at this point that Ayeshmantha meets (while on a train) Rashmi (Pooja), who saves his life by persuading him to reconsider his would-be suicide. Rashmi then takes Ayeshmantha to her relatives, and persuades them to let him stay with them for some time. However, Pooja's aunt suspects a secret love between them and resists his stay with the family. He recovers from his unhappy past and returns home with the idea of restarting his businesses. Meanwhile, Rashmi, preparing for her marriage to Prasad (Pubudu), is rejected by him. Rashmi is devastated and shattered by this incident. Ayeshmantha has no idea what had happened: He returns home with a strong heart and with a zest to start a new life, undertaking and re-establishing his businesses.

After some time, Ayeshmantha decides to look for Rashmi at Pubudu's place. Upon his encounter with Pubudu, Pubudu tells Ayeshmantha the outcome of his relationship with Rashmi. Ayeshmantha, upon hearing this news, then searches for Rashmi anywhere he can possibly imagine her to be, but cannot trace her whereabouts. Finally, he finds her in a churchyard, paving the way for a new relationship between the two. The film then develops from their reunion through a series of incidents.
