Ganesh (Vijay) is the son of Government Hospital Doctor Chandrasekar (Raghuvaran). He is a BSc graduate and who is looking for a job. He falls in love with a girl called Santhya (Suvalakshmi) who claims she would not fall in love with any one. Her objective is to get a gold medal along with her degree. She is the daughter of Vasudevan (Rajan P. Dev) & Krishnaveni. Vasudevan is a rough police inspector and is a Doubting Thomas kind. Ganesh visits the bus stop daily to see Santhya and to travel in the same bus with her. Since he does not know how to approach a girl to express his love, he seeks the help of his friends. They suggest some ideas to Ganesh but they don't work. Santhya even tells Ganesh openly that she does not like him. Prithi (Manthra) is Santhya's classmate and she loves Ganesh. He meets Prithi and requests her to convey his love to Santhya. Prithi first refuses but later she agrees to try. But her attempt is of no use. Ganesh never gives up. He continues to try to speak to Sandhya. In the meanwhile, Santhya's dad Vasudevan comes to know that Ganesh is following his daughter and he beats him up and arrests him. Santhya gets into trouble too. In an accident Vijay loses his father. Suva then tells him she's in love with him but finally Ganesh refuses her love because he feels he lost too much time following a girl who never will love him truly.
