Plot

edit

Ravi Varma loses his parents in childhood and his wife Rajni in an accident. He keeps himself immersed in business. His family physician advises him to take a holiday. He meets Aarti and both are attracted to each other. Ravi is hesitant at first to express his love because he believes whoever he loves will die. Later, he asks her to meet him and she agrees. When Aarti does not come to meet him, Ravi believes that she does not reciprocate his feelings.

He meets her two years later and in the climax finds out why she did not come to meet him. Its all's well that ends well![4]
