Kadhir (Ravi Krishna) belongs to a lower middle class family, living with his parents and his younger sister in Rainbow Colony. He is perceived as a good for nothing person as he skips classes, fails in exams, and gets involved in fights. Kadhir believes that his father hates him and often quarrels with him, even threatening to leave the house, only to be persuaded not to do so by his mother. Kadhir's life changes when a Hindi speaking North Indian family moves into the same colony. Kadhir finds himself attracted to the daughter of that family, Anita (Sonia Agarwal). Although he tries to woo her, Anita treats him with disdain. Kadhir confesses to Anita that he loves her. He tells her that having always been ridiculed, he found respite in the fact that she at least cared to look at him. He promises to wipe her thoughts out of his mind, as he is not right for her. Despite himself, Kadhir continues pursuing her. Anita realizes that Kadhir is not such a useless fellow when his best friend tells her that he can dismantle and assemble a motorcycle within minutes. She takes Kadhir to a Hero Honda dealer and asks them to offer him a job. He is promised a job if he can assemble a bike. Initially, Kadhir is disinterested and gives up the task. She tells him that she loves him and asks how he would take care of her without a job. Kadhir then demonstrates his skill in motorcycle assembly, securing a job with the dealer. His father feels proud of his son for the first time, when Kadhir gives him his offer letter. Though he refuses to openly praise Kadhir, he does so secretly to Kadhir's mother that night. Overhearing the conversation, Kadhir realizes his father's love for him and weeps. The intimacy between Kadhir and Anita is discovered by her mother and she refuses to permit their marriage even as Kadhir's father tries to persuade her otherwise. Anita's family is heavily indebted to another Hindi family that has been supporting them since Anita's father suffered business losses. Anita's parents want Anita to marry the son of the family who has helped them. Anita escapes her home and meets Kadhir and they end up in a hotel room. Anita reveals that she has made the biggest decision of her life by deciding to make love to him, as he should not regret falling in love with her when she marries the man her parents chose. Though stunned by her decision, Kadhir makes love to her. The next morning Kadhir and Anita argue when Kadhir says he wants Anita to live with him, while Anita accuses him of being attracted to her only because of the sex. They continue arguing as they exit the hotel. Crossing the road, Anita is knocked down by a truck as a helpless Kadhir watches. Kadhir is also hit by a speeding vehicle. Anita dies on the spot, but Kadhir imagines her. He tries to suicide but only to find everyone screaming at him. Anita comes to him whenever he wants and consoles him.
