Plot

The film starts with a flashback in which Richard (Ameer Niyas) and Pavithra (Anusree) are getting married in a church. It is revealed that Pavithra was an orphan living in an orphanage associated with the Roman Catholic Church. In the present, Richard is seeing Dr. Leela Iyyer (Sukanya) for marital problems. He tells Dr.Iyyer that he cannot properly have a physical relationship with his wife, Pavithra. Upon hearing this, Dr.Iyyer asks Richard to tell her exactly what happened after his marriage. After their wedding, Richard goes to his apartment in the city with his new wife. He doesn't show any interest in his new wife. One day, Pavithra asks Richard to take her to a church. When they get back from the church, Kiran (Sudev Nair) was waiting for them in the apartment. Richard is uncomfortable seeing Kiran in his apartment. In a series of flashbacks, it is revealed that Richard and Kiran met in college and Richard was able to help Kiran get his life together after he turned to drugs for his problems. They both come from well off, but troubled families. Kiran and Richard form an intricate emotional and physical bond which ends in them living together. One day, Kiran presents the idea of adopting a child to strengthen their bond. Kiran asks Richard, who is bisexual, to marry a woman and abandon her after she bears a child. The woman ends up being Pavithra. Pavithra eventually finds out about Kiran and Richard's relationship after she walks in on them having sex. The trouble Richard goes through to not hurt Pavithra or lose Kiran forms the rest of the movie.
