Plot

In 1990, Deemantha is a young dancing teacher. One day, Deemantha is diagnosed with lung cancer while practicing a dance. Deemantha's mother, Maya, and adopted uncle, Dharmapriya are shocked after hearing this. Deemantha thinks that his late father, Gunendra has died from the same type of cancer. However, Dharmapriya then informs him that his father's death was not due to cancer and decides to tell him the story of his father's life.

The story flashes back to 1958 when Gunendra and Dharmapriya were best friends. Gunendra is a rich businessman who is also able to play music. One day, he is diagnosed with lung cancer while he is playing the saxophone. His doctor informs that Gunendra's life expectancy is a mere 3 months. Meanwhile, Dharmapriya learns about an Ayurvedic doctor who offers to cure cancer of an advertisement. The advertisement tells him the man is named Appuhami and can be found in Thalakiriyagama village. He travels to the doctor who then cures him and advises him to stay away from alcohol. But, after returning, Gunendra forgets the Ayurvedic doctor's advice and continues to drink alcohol, to the dismay of his wife, Maya, and friend Dharmapriya. As a result of this, Gunendra is diagnosed with lung cancer again after 2 years.

Gunendra returns to Thalakiriyagama and learns that the doctor had died before 6 months. He is shocked and tries to return but the doctor's daughter Mangali manages to cure him. Gunendra realizes that he has fallen in love with Mangali and marries her.

After some time, Gunendra returns to his home and lives with Maya who is pregnant with Gunendra's child. One day, Appuhami visits Dharmapriya's office and informs that Mangali is also pregnant with Gunendra's child. Dharmapriya gets angry and informs Gunendra. He is shocked and visits Mangali's home. Mangali advises him to keep his marriage with Maya. After so much pressure, Gunendra goes to the beach and commits suicide. Then, Dharmapriya takes Maya's responsibility. After that, both Maya and Mangali give birth to boys. Maya names her child Deemantha. The past story ends after that.

The day after hearing the story, a shocked Deemantha visits Thalakiriyagama with his mother and uncle. Mangali is now grows old and lives with her son. She sees Dharmapriya, Maya, and Deemantha and is amazed. Finally, she tells her son that his relatives have come.
