Plot[]

Anand and Vasantha are new students at a film institute and quickly form a deep connection with each other. Many of the other students and even a few lecturers have an eye for Vasantha and intervene in their budding relationship. Vasantha herself is reluctant to pursue their love beyond friendship as she has a complicated past. Gopi, the editing professor, uses his power to take advantage of female students at the institute. He attempts the same with Vasantha, but is caught and eventually fired by the principal. He nurses a grudge and informs Vasantha's mother about Vasantha's closeness with Anand. Her mother is incensed by her daughter's budding relationship. She's determined to see her daughter become a successful actor and forces Vasantha to avoid Anand. He doesn't understand her sudden distance from him and is heartbroken. Vasantha eventually tells Anand about her past and why her mother is so determined to see her become a star. Anand reaffirms his love for Vasantha and the two decide to be together as they search for acting opportunities. Figures from their past intervene and force the young couple to face more roadblocks in their quest for happiness.
