Plot
editWhile investigating an enigmatic man named Karthik, ACP Vijay Prakash, a police officer, is bewildered by the conflicting statements about his identity. Three young women seem to share a mysterious connection with him and claim Karthik as their husband who has gone missing a few days/months before. An old man from an asylum claims that he knew Karthik as Krishnamurthy, who had died 30 years ago. The next day, the old man was found killed.
After the man's death, another woman called Priya appears and claims Karthik as her husband, who has been missing since the previous day. The police officers are in shock with her claim because they had arrested Karthik two days before as the suspect of the old man's murder. During the investigation, Karthik fails to recognize the other three women who claimed him as their husband.
In the next scene the woman is brought to the imprisoned Karthik. When she sees Karthik, they both smile at each other, and suddenly, the woman pulls a gun and shoots him. Vijay Prakash stops her act and asks her intention for doing this. She reveals her love story and marriage with Karthik. After her marriage, due to some misunderstanding, Karthik leaves her. After a few months, she reads news about Karthik and the affairs he had with three other women (who claimed Karthik as their husband in the first half of the story). She was shocked with the news and assumed that Karthik is a playboy who had spoiled four women's lives (including hers), so she decides that he is not fit to live.
Karthik escapes from the hospital and with the help of a journalist and goes in search of those girls to know their intention to cause such trouble in his life. There, he finds all the allegations given towards him are false as they have staged a drama against Karthik on the request of Saraswati, an old lady. Sarswati, the woman behind the scene, is the main culprit who saved the girls from getting raped, which was staged by herself as she wanted the help of the girls to trouble Karthik for revenge. Sarswati is shown to be the ex-wife of Karthik's father Krishnamoorthy. Saraswati who kills her father and stages a drama to marry Krishnamoorthy. On their nuptial night, Krishnamurthy realizes that Saraswati has psychotic behavior and the murderer of her father and Krishnamoorthy's fiancée Bhanu's family. He escapes and jumps into a river. Saraswati is sent to an asylum and released after a few years. She sees Krishnamoorthy living a happy life with Bhanu and two children. She kills them on the same day, except for the son, who turned out to be Karthik
In the present, she still hallucinates Karthik for Krishnamoorthy and wants to kill him as revenge for rejecting her. She kidnaps Karthik's wife Priya and threatens him at gunpoint, telling him to kill himself. In an attempt to save Karthik, ACP Vijay Prakash gets injured. The police shoot her in her leg, and she finally shoots herself without letting them know Priya's hideout. Finally, Karthik and the police find Priya at the basement, and she apologizes for misunderstanding Karthik, and they reunite.
