After reboarding the cruise, the pair is unable to stop the inevitable thing that feels like it may be love and proposes. At that point, Sasi explains to Meghana that they are in vacillating and that the fondness is might generated out of infatuation too.

Since the time is running out Sasi rushes from Andaman taking the blessings of his grandmother. But unfortunately, he meets with an accident and fails to land. Thus, Meghana with woe accepts knit Sujit misinterpreting Sasi not to love her. Soon after recovery, Sasi calls Meghana, hears about her nuptial and he also wrongs. On the day of the wedding, Sasi attends with Rukmini through whom Meghana learns the actuality. Forthwith, Sasi sings a song as a word of honor given to Meghana when they suppress themselves. At last, Sujit discerns it, makes everyone realize the eminence of love, and unites them. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the marriage of Sasi & Meghana.
