Plot
Priya (Monisha), a rich woman, is in love with Sundar (Raja), a poor man. Priya tries to elope with him but she fails and her parents (Vinu Chakravarthy and Srividya) lock her in her bedroom. That night, from her bedroom, Priya witnesses the murder of Shanthi (Yuvasri) by her husband Sabapathy (Nizhalgal Ravi) in the opposite building. She takes photos of this murder and Sabapathy notices this act. Priya shouts from her room, but her parents ignore her, thinking she is shouting because she has been locked up in her room.
The next day, all friends and relatives come for Shanthi's death. Shanthi's parents arrive and ask Sabapathy about what happened to her. He lies to them that Shanthi complained of chest pain and before he could call doctor she passed away. Gopi (Ganeshkar), Shanthi's brother, only knows that his brother-in-law tortured his sister for a long time. In the past, Shanthi used to tell Gopi that her husband behaves like a caring and loving husband in public, but in private they used to fight a lot. She also tells Gopi that she suspects her husband has affair with someone. Remembering this, Gopi shouts that Sabapathy killed his sister but all others subdue him since they consider Sabapathy as a perfect gentleman. Gopi requests his parents to conduct an autopsy on his sister's body, but his parents ignore this plea and cremate her body. Gopi then secretly files a complaint against Sabapathy. However, the honest police officer Sarath (Sarath Kumar) gives up the case due to lack of evidence.
Sabapathy starts to pressure Priya to give him the negative. In the meantime, Priya's parents decide to marry Priya to their relative. Priya tells about the murder's scene to her maid Sornakili (Pasi Sathya), and Priya gives her the negative. Sornakili later gives the negative to a photographer (Sudhangan) who blackmails Sabapathy for money. Afterwards, Sabapathy kills Sornakili and the photographer, and he burns the proofs. Sarath then investigates these murders and finds out that Sabapathy is the killer. Thereafter, Sabapathy tries to kill Priya, but Sarath tracks them down and shoots Sabapathy to death.
