Plot
The rich woman Priya (Monisha) and the poor man Sundar (Raja) fall in love with each other. One day, Priya tries to elope with her lover Sundar but she fails, and her parents (Vinu Chakravarthy and Srividya) lock her in her bedroom. That night, from her bedroom, Priya witnesses the murder of Shanthi (Yuvasri) by her husband Sabapathy (Nizhalgal Ravi) in the opposite building. She takes photos of this murder with her camera, and Sabapathy notices this act. Priya even shouts from her room, but her parents ignore her, thinking she is shouting because she has been locked up in her room.
The next day, all friends and relatives come for Shanthi's death. Shanthi's parents arrive and ask Sabapathy about what happened to her. He lies to them that Shanthi complained of chest pains, and before he could call the doctor, she died. Gopi (Ganeshkar), Shanthi's brother, only knows that his brother-in-law tortured his sister for a long time. In the past, Shanthi used to tell Gopi that her husband behaves like a caring and loving husband in public, but in private, they used to fight a lot. She also tells Gopi that she suspects that her husband has an affair with someone. Remembering this, Gopi shouts that Sabapathy killed his sister, but all others subdue him since they consider Sabapathy as a perfect gentleman. Gopi requests his parents to conduct an autopsy on his sister's body, but his parents ignore this plea and cremate her body. The desperate Gopi then secretly files a complaint against Sabapathy. However, the honest police officer Sarath (R. Sarathkumar) gives up the case due to lack of evidence.
Sabapathy starts to pressure Priya to give him the negative. In the meantime, Priya's parents decide to marry Priya to their relative. Priya tells about the murder's scene to her maid Sornakili (Pasi Sathya), and Priya gives her the negative. Sornakili later gives the negative to a photographer (Sudhangan) who then blackmails Sabapathy to get money from him. Thereafter, Sabapathy kills Sornakili and the photographer, and he burns the proofs. Sarath then investigates these two murders and he finds out that Sabapathy is the killer. Thereafter, Sabapathy tries to kill Priya, but Sarath tracks them down and shoots Sabapathy dead.
