Synopsis

Thenavan always rejects the women his mother has chosen for him. Sheila is a sweet girl who is often rejected by guys. She falls in love with Thenavan on their first meeting over his comforting behaviour. But Thenavan is still in love with Kalyani, a woman he has loved since his school days, but Kalyani seems to have no feelings for him. When Kalyani's handbag is stolen upon her arrival back to Malaysia, Thenavan helps her and asks her for an hour of conversation as a return favour. The conversation ends up as a turning point for Thenavan, Kalyani and Sheila, as well as Sathya, Kalyani's former lover. How will their story go?
