Madhav safely returns, hands over his responsibilities and removes all official powers of Chidanandam. In the office, also Madhav strictly follows rules and regulations and everyone is frightened about his behaviour. Madhav's younger sister Padma falls in love with Gopi, son of their Manager Sathabhisham and she becomes pregnant.
