It is an official remake of the Telugu serial Mounaraagam, which aired on Star Maa.
The story revolves around a girl called Kanmani, who has been rejected by her father all her life and as a result, yearns for his affection.
Her father Subbu makes her mother Rajeshwari take poison while pregnant because he feels that he cannot afford to pay for another daughter.
Consequently, she meets a city boy called Santhosh who follows her daily and remembers her as the child who saved him from a car crash in his childhood.
Kanmani only longs for the affection of her cold and distant father and is oblivious to the love bestowed on her by Santhosh.
