Plot
This story revolves around Siva, a lorry driver, who accidentally meets Lakshmi, an innocent and studious girl. Siva learns that Lakshmi's father is forcing her into an unwanted marriage and discovers that his best friend Satish has genuine feelings for Lakshmi. In an attempt to help his friend, Siva abducts Lakshmi to prevent her forced marriage but later realizes Satish's intentions are not pure. Siva returns Lakshmi to the marriage podium, but she is falsely accused and her reputation is tarnished. Feeling responsible for Lakshmi's plight, Siva decides to marry her. However, her father disowns her, and they embark on a journey to start a new life.

On their way, Satish tries to assault Lakshmi, and she defends herself with a knife, killing Satish. Siva takes the blame for the crime and is sentenced to five years in prison. Meanwhile, Lakshmi gives birth to their child while grieving the loss of her father. Her younger sister, Swetha, takes care of the baby and develops animosity towards Siva.

Once released from prison, Siva tries to reunite with his child, but Swetha refuses to give custody, believing Siva to be an irresponsible father. The court rules in Siva's favor, and he gets custody of his son. However, Swetha proposes marriage to Siva for the sake of the child's happiness. They get married, but Swetha soon files for divorce, claiming harassment. The story takes predictable turns before reaching a stereotypical climax.
