Plot

[edit]

Prathap is an poor, aspiring musician. He leaves his village and an abusive father and goes to Chennai hoping to make it big in the music industry. A sympathetic lodge owner gives him a job and lets him live there. Prathap's repeated attempts to get a break keep failing.

Radha is his neighbor living with his widowed father. She is in love with Gopal who is away on a military assignment. Gopal tries to talk Radha into marrying someone else - because of his risky life in the military - but Radha is adamant she wants to marry just him. But Prathap slowly falls in love with Radha.

Radha finally gets a chance for Prathap to showcase his music skills. Prathap reveals his love for her. Just when Radha is about to leave for Prathap's music concert, she gets the news that Gopal has died. Radha informs this to Prathap, rejects his proposal and kills herself, leaving Prathap grieving all alone.
