Plot
Bharathi is the daughter of retired principal Appa Rao, with values and self-esteem. Lecturer Chandrashekar gets acquainted with her, and they start loving each other. Bharathi's mother, Manikyamba, does not like this alliance because of its prestige. But Appa Rao convinces her and makes the marriage of Chandrashekar and Bharathi. After the wedding, Manikyamba constantly criticizes Chandrashekar, so he leaves their house with Bharathi and starts living happily. Manikyamba does not like her daughter's middle-class life. She starts boasting about her son-in-law to the relatives. Chandrashekar gets hurt by this, so he does not want to return to her house, and Bharathi is sandwiched between mother and husband. Then, ego clashes arise between the couple step by step, and they lose tolerance and separate to get a divorce.
