Kaalayan falls in love with his sister's friend Kamakshi who is tortured and harassed by her sister-in-law Nandini, while Kamakshi's mother and brother are helpless spectators. After the initial hesitation the timid Kamakshi also reciprocates Kaalayan's love. Nandini does not want Kamakshi to marry Kaalayan. The duo elopes and gets married. After a violent bashing up of Kaalayan and Kamakshi by Nandini's men, the doctors warn Kaalayan that Kamakshi's health would be endangered if she were to bear a child. But Kamakshi drugs Kaalayan and seduces him. She conceives, but there is nothing to worry. The doctors are proved wrong and she delivers twins.
