Plot
Siddharthan is an actor who is the guardian of three children from his village. He rents a house posing as a rich man and is visited by his old friend Ramanujan, who creates chaos. The young heiress Pooja, who is the daughter of the owner of a palace, has a haunted past. Her husband was a sadist so she ran away to her native village. Her mother finds out where she is and also comes to the village. Pooja does not want to go with her mother, so she acts like a memory-loss patient and says that their neighbour Siddharthan is her husband and his adopted children are their children. Thus, her mother allows Pooja to stay in the village. Pooja's husband finds her and comes to get her back. Pooja tells Siddharthan that she does not want to go with her husband. Siddharthan fights Pooja's husband, and in the end Gouri's father shoots Pooja's husband and goes to prison. Pooja leaves the house and Siddharthan joins his girlfriend Gauri.
