Rani has to choose between Raja and looking after her sister's family. Raja can't take this and he starts drinking as he loses hopes on uniting with Rani. Unaware of Raja's connection to Rani, Kamala's widower meets Raja. There he incidentally notices Raja's painting, singing skills and offers him to sing for an album at his recording theater. He introduces Raja to Rani at Rani's home before requesting Raja to stay there until Raja's recording is complete.
The movie becomes dramatic as Rani's brother-in-law finds out that Rani is in love with Raja. He cannot see Rani as his wife. How the individuals try to compromise and sacrifice for each others' aspirations and feelings forms the crux of the story.
