Ashok is a young man who knows and understands the psychology of love and helps lovers elope against the wishes of their families. He is assisted in this endeavour by his close friends Boopathi Ramaiyaa and Seenu. Once he comes across Uma Maheshwari "Mahee", an engineering student, and develops a crush on her. However, he chooses not to express his love to her and instead decides to wait for her to reciprocate her love due to a past incident involving his friend Giri. In a flashback, it is shown that Giri was in love with a Muslim girl named Aisha, who did not reciprocate. When Giri declared his love for her in front of her family, Aisha committed suicide, unable to bear the humiliation faced by her and her family members. This incident caused Giri to become mad and end up in an asylum.

One day, Ashok's friend Raja asks him to help him successfully pursue a mysterious girl. Ashok agrees to this and successfully helps Raja win the heart of the "mysterious girl", who, unknown to Ashok, turns out to be none other than Mahee. Eventually, when Mahee's father finds out about the relationship, Mahee and Raja decide to elope and seek the help of Ashok again. Ashok, who is still unaware that Raja wants to marry Mahee, agrees. It is only when Mahee arrives at the register office that Ashok realises that Raja's lover is Mahee and that he had helped Raja to make his love with Mahee succeed. Ashok breaks down inconsolably, but soon calms down and gets Raja and Mahee married. The newly married couple decide to leave for Coimbatore to escape from Mahee's father's wrath. But Mahee's father notices them and attacks them as well as Ashok, since he is responsible for getting his daughter to elope. Ashok is stabbed by Mahee's father in the back. Despite his pain, Ashok manages to send Mahee and Raja away safely, and Mahee's father decides to leave him alone, since his daughter is already gone.

The movie ends with a man coming to an injured Ashok and asking him to help him in pursuing a girl he likes, to which Ashok agrees (indicating that he'll even sacrifice his own love life to unite two hearts).
