Plot

Aravindan is a sought-after tailor, specialising in blouses, and works in a shop owned by Kumaran. Despite his evident mental difficulty, he is shown as worldly-wise, with his own way of dealing with things.

He loves Anitha deeply while she feels pity for him. In fact, he is known as her black cat security. One day, at the instigation of his friend Santosh, he tries to kiss her. She is shocked but later uses the incident to cover up her relationship with Jeevan from her strict mother, who wants her to marry a doctor, Rajiv.

Anitha's uncle, a police officer, and her mother fix her marriage after learning about her affair. She elopes with Jeevan and goes to Bangalore with the help of Aravindan but soon realizes that Jeevan is a pervert.
