Plot

Ramu(Sivakumar) is a poor orphan who dreams of becoming a collector. Shankar(Vijayakumar), his rich best friend, assists him financially and by providing him a place to stay. Geetha(Vidhubala) and Shanthi(Jayachitra) are college students and best friends who often clash due to the differences in their beliefs. Geetha is rich, arrogant and feels entitled to special treatment due to her wealth. Shanthi is poor and believes that all people should be treated with respect regardless of wealth. Both friendships end due to various circumstances. When the four meet years later, Geetha and Shanthi challenge each other over their worldviews - will wealth or hard-work and respect win?
