Plot
Munan and Sanathoi are siblings. Munan struggles hard to buy a harmonium for his blind sister. Fate has it that Tamphasana has a low opinion of Munan at first sight but things change with time. Due to an unfortunate involvement of Munan and his friend Selung in an illicit business, Munan is compelled to go underground. He abandons Sanathoi due to the consequences. In a singing competition solely organised for blind people, Sanathoi participates in it with the help of her rent owner. This gives a chance for Sanathoi to be noticed by Tamphasana and Paikhomba. Paikhomba's sister, who also happened to be an ophthalmologist, helps Sanathoi in treating her eyes. Meanwhile, Munan does odd jobs while concealing his identity. He learns his sister's medical treatment and decides to donate his eyes. Sanathoi's vision is brought to life following Munan's demise.
