A student in their same class, Rajan, has a crush on Delilah and he asks Kiran to pen love letters to her on his behalf.

Their love affair is severely impeded when Rajan discovers Kiran and Delilah stealing a moment of intimacy in the woods.

To save the family from disgrace, she arranges a marriage for Delilah with a suitor who had recently visited with intent to find a bride.

[1] Sancharram has been compared to Deepa Mehta's 1996 film Fire, a movie which also touches upon lesbian relationships in India.
