Rishi is a doctor in a mental hospital and treats his patients like his family. Rangarajan is the director of the hospital. Devi, the daughter of a wealthy man, is a social worker and a joyful woman. Murali acts like a mental patient and a mute person in the mental hospital, but only Rangarajan knows that he is perfectly fine.
Devi starts visiting the mental hospital very often. After a few quarrels with Rishi, Devi becomes good friends with him. She is intrigued by Murali and starts spending a lot of time with him. Murali slowly falls in love with Devi, while Rishi and Devi express their love and fall in love with each other. Everything goes well until Devi finds out that Murali is perfectly alright. Rangarajan reveals Murali's tragic past to her.
In the past, Murali lived happily with his parents. His parents, Gangadharan and Janaki, did a love marriage and did not have their family's support. One day, Janaki was arrested for procurement; Gangadharan made that complaint. Gangadharan then fled the village alone, while Murali was down and out. People thought he was a mentally ill boy, so they sent him to Rangarajan's mental hospital. Later, his mother died in jail. The kind-hearted Rangarajan decided to keep Murali in his mental hospital; he raised him like his own child.
Feeling hurt and vexed by life, Murali leaves the mental hospital without informing anyone. They finally find him in the street. Devi feels that Murali sings well, so she registers his name in a singing competition. At the singing competition, Murali sees his father Gangadharan in the audience. His father started a new life and married a rich bride; he is now a business magnate. His father turns out to be Rishi's father, too. Murali wins the competition and becomes a playback singer. He wins many awards and is now the most successful in Tamil cinema. Murali finally reveals to Rishi that he is in love with Devi. In the end, during Murali and Devi's marriage, Murali recognises the love between Rishi and Devi. He sacrifices his love and gets them married.
