His parents, fed up with his ways, force him into an arranged marriage. Parthiban is surprised to learn that the girl he has been set up with is the same one he fell in love with. Unfortunately, he realizes that Sathya (Sneha), the girl he has married is a different woman, and that he actually loves her free-spirited, long-lost twin, Janani (Sneha again).
