Set in 1950s Madras, the story revolves around a filmmaker named Ayya, once a respected director. He decides to complete a film that was halted 12 years ago, a project titled Shantha, named after his mother. Back then, he had cast Mahadevan= as the hero. Now, he wants to revive the same film with the same hero. Mahadevan agrees. Ayya introduces a young Burmese girl, Kumari, as the heroine. During the shoot, Kumari observes constant tension between the director and Mahadevan, but neither reveals the reason. Mahadevan changes the title Shantha to Kaantha, which deeply upsets Ayya. Meanwhile, the bond between Mahadevan and Kumari grows into love and eventually leads to marriage plans. But Ayya dislikes this development, and Mahadevan’s closeness with Kumari also troubles his wife Devi. This issue reaches Mahadevan’s father-in-law, creating more conflict. What happens to Kumari? Does she marry Mahadevan? What caused the rift between Mahadevan and Ayya? The rest of the film answers these questions.
