Balu, Michael, Raja, and Manohar are four street musician friends who aim to make it big despite living below the poverty line. Balu sings, Michael dances and plays the tabla, Raja plays the guitar, and Manohar plays the flute. One day, the friends come across Gowri, a seemingly mute girl. They help Gowri find an address she is looking for; however, the person Gowri intended to meet has left for London and will return only after a year. The four pity Gowri as she is helpless and allow her to stay with them.
Friendship blossoms between Gowri and the four men, and she does the household activities while the men seek opportunities to prove their talents. One day, the four men see Gowri negotiating with a vegetable vendor and become furious that Gowri has cheated them by acting mute. Gowri apologizes and tells them her past.
Gowri is a rich girl born and brought up in Ooty. She is the only daughter of a rich estate owner; however, her parents died when she was young, following which Vishwam was appointed as her caretaker. However, Vishwam is greedy and plans to abduct Gowri's wealth. Gowri is in love with her schoolmate Suresh, who hails from Madras.
Suresh plans to leave for London for higher education. Meanwhile, Vishwam comes up with a plan to marry Gowri so he can inherit all her wealth. Gowri retaliates and runs away from Ooty to Madras to meet Suresh. However, Suresh had already left for London before she could find his house.
Gowri says the four men are genuine and she liked their friendship, which made her feel safe, and she pretended to be mute to get their sympathy. The men are convinced and allow her to stay with them until Suresh returns. With the help of her old business acquaintance, Gowri gets an opportunity for the four men to perform at a music competition.
Meanwhile, Suresh returns from London and unites with Gowri. Now, Gowri leaves for Suresh's home. Suresh does not like Gowri befriending the four poor men. He also takes Gowri to a doctor to check her virginity, which shatters her. The four men visit Suresh's home requesting Gowri and Suresh to attend the competition, but Suresh turns them down and insults them. The four devastated men leave.
At the competition, the four men find Gowri seated in the audience, to their surprise. After their performance, they ask about Suresh, and Gowri says she broke with him for not trusting her. The four men win the competition and a chance to compose for a film. Gowri joins their troupe as a singer.
