Plot
Sivaji and Srividya are a childless couple who bring up Sivaji's sister Yamana. Sivaji believes in total freedom while Srividya believes in complete control and restriction when it comes to bringing up their children. When Sivaji finds out that Yamana is in love with Jai Ganesh, his partner's son, he encourages her. What he does not know is that Jai Ganesh is a womanizer and masquerades as a Mr. Goody-two-shoes. He has a son with Reena, Sivaji's secretary who kills herself when she finds out that he had moved on. Sivaji attempts to expose Jai Ganesh through his son but the clever Jai Ganesh pushes for marriage with Yamana so that Sivaji would stop and he could get rich in the process. Who succeeds forms the rest of the story.
