Plot
Bharathi is the daughter of retired principal Appa Rao, with values and self-esteem. She and lecturer Chandrashekar fall in love. Bharathi's mother, Manikyamba, does not like this alliance because of its prestige. But Appa Rao convinces her and arranges the marriage of Chandrashekar and Bharathi. After the wedding, Manikyamba constantly criticizes Chandrashekar, so he leaves their house with Bharathi and they live happily. Manikyamba dislikes her daughter's middle-class life. She starts boasting about her son-in-law to the relatives. This hurts Chandrashekar, so he does not want to return to her house, and Bharathi is sandwiched between her mother and husband. Gradually, ego clashes arise between the couple, and they lose tolerance for each other and separate with the intention of divorcing. In the climax, they understand marriage is not about uniting two human beings but connecting two souls.Cast
