Chittu (Snisha Chandran), a simple tribal love-girl is cogently married to Jaisurya (Sathya), a young and intelligent journalist from the city. Surya has decided to marry Rani (Chandana Shetty) after 7 long years of love affair. But the events that happen in forest just before their wedding engagement change everything. Surya is forced to marry Chittu, a tribal woman, when the villagers find them together in a hut on his visit to Poombarai forest. Unable to tell the truth, he brings Chittu home as a servant to help his ailing mother. However, secrets reveal that Rani and Chittu are half-sisters later on as story progress.
