A girl named Bindu, who was falsely accused of being mad, takes into deeply caring for Manasi. Her enchanting lullaby flows around the whole asylum like a settling relief. Few days later, Bindu is asked to leave the asylum on grounds of being totally sane. But she prefers her home at the asylum with her friends saying that the world outside is totally strange for her. Dr. Warrier is helpless. So she bids farewell to her dear Manasi and the others at the asylum. Her departure marks a point of deep aching grief to everyone at the hospital.
