Plot
The story revolves around siblings Dharma (Murali) and Devi (Devayani). Devi falls in love with Arun (Raja). Selvi (Vindhya) cannot reveal her love to Dharma, but knowing her love, Dharma accepts the marriage. This is despite the fact that an astrologer (Charuhasan) predicts that if Devi marries Arun and they give birth to a son, Dharma will die.
A few months later Devi gives birth to a son, Vijay (Master Vasanth), beginning Dharma's death countdown. To save Dharma, Vijay must die, so Devi and Vijay consume poison while Dharma is sleeping. Vijay records this on a tape and places it near Dharma. Dharma listens to the tape and searches for them. While looking for Devi and Vijay, Dharma is hit by an arrow. He finds Vijay and Devi and takes them to the hospital to save their lives. Both Vijay and Devi are saved, but now Dharma is in critical condition. At 4 o'clock, his heart stops, but the doctors manage to save his life by giving him CPR.
