From a middle-class family headed by their father, Sridhar grows up alongside his elder brother Shiva, who acts as the breadwinner, while Shantha and his sister help keep the household together. Sridhar nourishes a burning dream to become a professional music composer, and he pushes through countless setbacks, chasing a coveted chance to break into films. The family, tightly knit and endlessly supportive, stands by him through long stretches of doubt, offering words of encouragement and reassurance even when doors seem shut. Their unwavering belief becomes a steady engine propelling him forward, even when the road ahead looks uncertain.

After graduation, Sridhar continues to chase his dream with stubborn resolve, even as the years roll by. For eight long years, he fights to secure a breakthrough in the film industry, facing repeated disappointments but never letting go of the core ambition that defines him. Throughout this arduous period, his relatives keep faith in him, celebrating any small progress and lifting his spirits with steady warmth. This shared patience is not mere backdrop; it shapes his identity and deepens the bond with the people who root for him the most.

Sridhar’s path crosses with Viji, and a quiet attraction grows between them as Viji understands and admires his dedication. Love begins to bloom, and she is soon introduced to Sridhar’s family, who welcome her with open arms. The bond between them strengthens as Viji stands by his side, recognizing the cost of his ambition and offering steadfast support. A nearby neighbor known as the CD Shop Owner becomes yet another ally, nudging him toward opportunities and encouraging him not to abandon his aspirations. When a chance finally comes to compose music for a film, excitement surges through him; he prepares to record with gusto. Yet fate intervenes on the very same day: the producer meets with an accident, and the film is deemed inauspicious, leading to its ultimate cancellation.

Meanwhile, Viji’s younger sister, Sudha, secures a good marriage proposal, but the groom’s family is wary of an unmarried Viji. To prevent any hurdle to Sudha’s nuptials, Viji’s father asks Sridhar and Viji to marry, seeing it as a practical solution that would also offer Sridhar a stable path forward. He even suggests Sridhar lay aside his dream for the sake of the family’s welfare and offers him a steady job so that he can wed Viji. This proposition places Sridhar at a crossroads: the opportunity to preserve his life’s work conflicts with the prospect of a safe, conventional marriage. He makes a painful choice, choosing his ambition over a conventional path, and asks Viji to consider marrying someone else so she might have a secure future. The weight of his decision bears heavily on him, yet the resolve to honor his craft remains steadfast.

Tragedy then tests the family’s stability when Shiva suffers a heart attack. The doctors warn of serious heart problems and the need for rest, a blow that hits the household hard because Shiva was the sole breadwinner. Shantha, along with Sridhar’s sister Preitha, steps up to take on jobs to help the family manage the financial strain. This crisis intensifies Sridhar’s internal struggle: he feels pride in the love and support of his kin, yet he also senses a mounting expectation that he abandon his dream for the sake of the family’s security. He weighs his options and eventually decides to pursue gainful employment to ease the burden, informing the CD Shop Owner of his plan and leaving for a pivotal interview.

Years pass, and the tide gradually turns. The long-awaited opportunity finally arrives: Sridhar lands a new chance to compose, and his talent earns him recognition as a leading music composer. With his professional dream realized, he also reunites with the person who stood beside him from the start—Viji—as he steps into a life that marries both personal fulfillment and enduring love.
