A remake of the Malayalam film Nirakkoottu,[1] it revolves around Ravi Varma (Sivakumar), who is sentenced to death for murdering his wife Kala (Radha), telling his story to his wife's sister Sujatha (Jayashree), a news reporter, about the true story of what happened.

She is assigned to interview Ravi Varma, who has been sentenced to death for the murder of his wife Kala, who is Sujatha's sister.

Sujatha covers and publishes the story of Ravi Varma and is well acclaimed and appreciated by owner, her boss, during the official meeting.

However, on losing her job as a clerk and her family (consisting of an ill ridden father, a younger sister and brother) being dependent on her income, she is forced to join Ravi's advertising agency.

After a week long honeymoon, Ravi force his wife to pose for modelling with a half-dressed costume, which Kala couldn't accept.

A frustrated Ravi visits Kala and tells her that he will pay all the compensation for a single time and brutally murders her with the knife he brought with him.
