Venu, who is in love with another girl, Radha, agrees to marry Ammu to save his sister's relationship. Nandan still remains concerned about his sister who is now living with Venu in his house. This disturbs a self-respecting Venu a lot and arguments ensue one after the other. A party is set on the day of Ammu's birthday both by Nandan and by Venu. Ammu refuses to wear the saree bought by her husband and wears the saree bought by Nandan. He leaves the place in a fury but later comes back knowing about Ammu's pregnancy.
