He feels highly dejected because of troubles surrounding him such as continuous loss in business and also his girlfriend Anita ditches him and marries another guy.
Bombarded with troubles, Shakthi one day leaves his office and boards a train without even knowing the destination.
In the train, Shakthi meets Anjali, who is more bubbly and talkative and she is on her way back to her hometown Theni after completing her studies.
Shakthi plans to jump from the fast moving train to end his life, but due to Anjali's presence, he could not do it.
Anjali informs Shakthi that she is in love with Gautham and also about her plans to elope with him as her family is highly orthodox.
At night, Anjali finds Shakthi missing in train but spots him sitting in the platform of a station.
Finally Shakthi and Anjali stay in a lodge and plan to leave early next day to Theni.
Meanwhile, Anjali's wedding is planned with her relative Mokkarasu which she does not like and she decides to run away from her house to meet Gautham in Ooty.
Shakthi now having fallen in love with Anjali but not revealing it to her reluctantly drops her in Ooty, and despite her resistance, tells her their journey together is over and bids her farewell, returning to Chennai with plans of reviving his ailing businesses.
Shakthi is shocked and begins to roam around Ooty in search of Anjali and finally finds that she works in a school.
