Plot

Parthiban (Srikanth) sees Sathya (Sneha) at the bus stop and immediately falls for her. It is a pleasant surprise when his parents force him to go with them and see the girl of their choice, because it is Sathya who is the prospective bride. At last that's what he thinks. The jolt comes just after marriage. A look alike of Sathya, named Janani, enters their life whom which Parthiban misunderstands as Sathya and marries with all hopes. The suspense element has been well worked out in this segment. What follows is a host of coincidences, both pleasant and otherwise, till differences between the couple are ironed out. Only the turnabout of Parthiban in the end is too sudden and hence not credible.
