Plot

The film begins with Madhu marrying an ingénue girl Seeta who is very possessive towards her husband. Soon after the wedding, she vexes Madhu with her nature which ends up as jollity. After a few years, the pair are blessed with a boy and all goes well until the arrival of an impish girl Sudha. Sudha joins as a personal secretary to Madhu and nice amity develops between them. Once, Madhu realizes that behind her naughtiness lies the tragedy of losing her parents. Then, Madhu hags Sudha as solace. Unfortunately, Seeta views it and her suspicion turns into rage. She wrangles with Madhu and also charges him not to touch her. Therefrom, Seeta hounds Madhu in different means. Moreover, Seeta generates bad propaganda by attributing an illicit affair between the two which blackens Sudha. Thus, Madhu has no choice except to get Sudha home. Accordingly, Seeta quits and applies for divorce. Though Madhu adamantly opposes it Seeta prevails and also leaves their kid with her husband. During that plight, Sudha moves to rectify the muddle. Here as a flabbergast, Seeta reveals that she is suffering from a heart problem and is terminally ill. Hence, she made this play to knit Madhu with Sudha to afford a new life for her husband and young son. Now Seeta pleads with Sudha to get Madhu ready for the nuptial which she does so. At last, Sudha affirms actuality and Seeta leaves her breath seeing their alliance. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with Madhu & Sudha leading a delightful life and naming their daughter Seeta.
