In a fight that occurs when Mukundan returns to the village when he gets bail, the local goon, Thimmaiah, is killed and Radha's brother goes to jail taking the responsibility.

Due to this negligent behaviour of Radha, Sreeram tries to commit suicide and is brought back to life by Mukundan at the beginning of the movie.
