Plot

Ramesan, who supports the five-member family by selling pickles and other eatables, reaches a border town named Pandavapuram under certain circumstances. He finds the conditions in Pandavapuram to be truly stark and dreary. The director dwells upon the ordeals of life in Pandavapuram. Ramesan is trying in vain to find his friend, Leelakrishnan, who acts as a hijada to make a living.

Devumma, who runs a brothel, gives him shelter. Seemingly oblivious to the impending doom, Sivani, a teenage girl, lives with Devumma and Raniamma. She falls in love with Ramesan. Bharathiyakka, an old inmate of the whorehouse, fills her wallet with money earned by selling virgins to infamous pimps. She persuades Devumma to sell Sivani to a rich and pompous Zamindar. Trapped between dreams of hard cash for sustenance and her affection for Sivani, Devumma is trying to save the lives of prostitutes by getting as much money as she can through this ordeal. Sivani's aspirations bite the dust leaving her emotionally shattered, when Devumma decides to sell her. But then matters are put in their proper perspective, and the director opts for the usual happy ending.
