Plot
Sharada (Arathi) who is affianced to a guy studying abroad, is extremely close with her future in-laws. However, when her fiancé returns, she finds out that he has married Elisa, a "white woman", and is no longer interested in her. Sharada assumes a larger-than-life good-Samaritan character, presumably the antithesis of a jilted lover, she becomes best friends with the 'white woman'. Elisa, on her part, wins over her family with her agreeable character and willingness to integrate into Indian society. Until she finds out that her husband has betrayed Sharada's love.
