Plot
Bharath (Sathyaraj) is a perfectionist film director. Being a short-tempered person, he deals with people with arrogance and disrespectfulness. Chandini (Radha), a debut-making actress, falls in love with Bharath. When Chandini openly declares her love for Bharath in front of everyone, he gets angry and slaps her. Since that, Chandini gets away from him and latches on to a financier. Bharath cannot forget her and takes to drinking. What transpires later forms the crux of the story.
