Plot
Manikandan and Sindhu are final-year college students and are in a relationship. However, Sindhu becomes pregnant, and their lives change. Mani asks Sindhu for an abortion, but she refuses and they both rent a house. Due to Mani's drinking problem, he mistreats Sindhu by not paying attention to her and not caring about her. After Sindhu gives birth, Mani reaches the hospital to see Sindhu missing and leaving the baby behind. It came to his attention that she had run away somewhere far. Thus, caring for the baby, Mani names his child Aditya and raises him to be a gentleman.
After a few years, Mani searches for a new job, where he finally lands a job and meets Sindhu in the same company. Knowing that she is the manager of the company, he was very scared to work at the office at first but later starts to feel good about going to the office. One day, Mani brings Aditya to his office. When Sindhu meets Aditya, he tells her that Mani is his father, which meant that Aditya was her son. After realizing this, Sindhu converses with Mani. When Mani asks Sindhu about leaving the baby despite his insistences for an abortion, Sindhu reveals that her parents had lied that the baby had died and she thought it was due to Mani's irresponsible behavior and left him. After clearing the misunderstanding, Aditya, Sindhu, and Mani reunite as a family.
