Circumstances introduce another young woman Vasanthi (Vaishali Kasaravalli) as a second lady doctor in Nataraj's nursing home.

How the differences are resolved for a happy ending forms the rest of the movie, set against the backdrop of the nursing home.

The film is based on the debut novel of famous Kannada author Usha Navaratnaram.

Two of Usha's novels with a female doctor as the center character - Hombisilu and Bandhana have been made into films.

Despite the female-centric themes, Vishnuvardhan did hold his own against the indomitable heroines - Aarathi in Hombisilu and Suhasini in Bandhana - who were considered his equals in the craft - and impressed the intelligent Kannada audience.
