Plot
In a remote village, Parvathi (Karishma) is an innocent young woman from an orthodox brahmin family. She falls in love with a Muslim man (Manish Kumar) and she even loses her virginity to him. They decide to elope and come to Chennai. The news of Parvathi eloping with her lover spreads like fire thus it tarnished the reputation of his family and her family committed suicide. Her lover turns out to be a member of a terrorist organisation and the police encounter him. In Chennai, with no home and no money, Parvathi becomes vulnerable and many people tried to rape her. The rogue Govindan (Ranjith) who works for the drug lords (Naga Kannan and Pattinapakkam Jayaram) comes to her rescue, hence she stays with him for some time at the beach. Govindan then gets into a fight with other rogues and Parvathi is wounded in the process. The prostitute Kannagi (Nakshatra) with a heart of gold takes a wounded Parvathi at her home and accommodates her.
Thereafter, Govindan is caught by the police and sentenced to jail for a short period. On his release from the jail, he decides to become a good man and dreams to marry Parvathi. In the meantime, Kannagi is killed in a car accident and the innocent Parvathi is arrested for prostitution. Govindan and Parvathi eventually meet each other after a long time, and they fall in love with each other. Govindan becomes a fisherman and the lovers decide to get married but the drug lords want Govindan to work for them and an angry Govindan humiliates them. The drug lords then shoot Govindan to death and they try to rape Parvathi but Parvathi disarms them and shoots them to death.
