Plot
Sathya (Arun Vijay) is a very good artist and is known for his art. He paints pictures and sells them on the road where he meets a lot of trouble, that's where he gets to know of Thilottamal over the phone. He starts searching for her, but to no use.
In between, Nimmi (Rambha) comes as a model and falls in love with Arun, but he declines it for Thilottamal. He even thinks Meena is as mentally disturbed as Thilottamal, but she is not.
Finally, Thilottamal writes a letter to Arun that she is going to die as she is so horrible to see and that she does not deserve his love. Arun runs all the way to the cremation ground to see her at least once, but by that time they have cremated her. Arun goes to the beach and sits with tears in his eyes.

Reception
A critic wrote that "This film also speaks about love without seeing. The suspense has been maintained from the start to the finish. But certain scenes, which are irrelevant to the main story line, cause us irritation. This is the film's shortcoming".[4] Visual Dasan of Kalki called the film as good start for director Indrakumar but panned Annadurai's editing due to dragged scenes.[5]
