Ravi, who is a friend of Balakrishnan rapes Revathy and she eventually becomes pregnant. Rejashekharan is enraged when he finds out. However, Revathy views Ravi as her “prince”, and has fallen in love with him. She wishes to marry her "prince". Rajashekaran reluctantly agrees and asks Balakrishnan to bring Ravi. Ravi declines to marry Revathy because she is mentally handicapped, which further enrages Rajashekharan. However, Ravi comes to realise his mistake and agrees to Balakrishnan to marry Revathy. When Ravi returns, Rajashekaran, not knowing that Ravi has accepted Revathy, brutally beats and stabs him. Revathy is shocked to know that the prince for whom she was waiting for, is dead.
