Balan was brought up in a poor family whose properties were sold by his father to fund his legal cases.

In the meanwhile, the private money lenders harass him, asking him to repay the loans incurred by his father, and abuse him publicly, which leads to altercation between them and following these incidents, Nandini's family withdraws from the marriage arrangement and Nandini is not permitted to leave her house to meet with Balan.

Raji is an arrogant woman and ill treats Balan and they endure a bad marital relationship.

The next morning he goes to the Secretariat and takes a week's leave from work and stays at a beach resort for a few days of relaxation and peace of mind, where he finds an amusing middle aged man, named Eenashu, who has a happy outlook to life and says he keeps himself young and sprightly through liquor and women.

Later, one day, Shivadasa Menon calls him and tells him that Vikraman has begun his movements for Joint Divorce Petition.

Slowly the old romance is revived between them, and both decide to live together thereafter, but fatefully, on the day they are about to leave the resort, Rajeswari, his wife and their children turn up.

Nandini, coming to know of his, with a heavy heart, realises what is happening and Balan accepts Rajeswari and the children.
