During a friend's wedding, Satish falls in love with Kaveri. They decide to marry, receiving blessings from their families. The couple begins envisioning a stable, modern life together.

After marriage, Kaveri and Satish create a prosperous life: they build a dream house, buy a car, and welcome their son. They appear to be a picture-perfect couple admired by family and friends. The early years seem to promise happiness.

As Kaveri conceives again, doctors express concern about her health. The pregnancy becomes a source of anxiety as the family weighs risks. The tension foreshadows later complications.

After the second child's birth, Kaveri is tormented by memories of a college assault and develops postpartum psychosis. Her illness destabilizes the family and prompts hospitalization. She is admitted to an in-house mental healthcare facility for treatment.

Within the facility, Kaveri receives treatment and begins the slow process of recovery. She builds coping strategies while staying under medical supervision. The care environment provides a space for her to confront trauma away from daily pressures.

After recovery, Kaveri returns home to a changed atmosphere where Satish treats her with coldness. The marriage's stability frays as emotional distance grows. The domestic resilience that once seemed assured begins to crumble.

Kaveri faces scorn from family, neighbors, and staff, reflecting society's lack of sensitivity toward mental illness. The caregivers and householders often fail to offer support, intensifying her isolation. The film uses these reactions to critique social attitudes toward mental health.

Kaveri discovers that Satish is having an extramarital relationship with a female colleague. The revelation compounds her distress and fractures trust within the marriage. The drama highlights how male ego and entitlement can undermine a woman's mental health.

The trauma of the affair triggers a relapse of postpartum psychosis. Satish's behavior and his betrayal escalate the crisis, forcing her readmission to the mental healthcare facility. The cycle of illness and social judgment intensifies.

The film foregrounds two major social issues: the acceptance of mental illness and the dynamics of male ego. It shows how society's stigma, and the regressive attitudes of those around Kaveri, worsen her condition. The narrative uses Kaveri's experiences to critique these systemic injustices.

A traumatic memory from Kaveri's college days, where she was forced into a sexual assault, remains a core trigger for her psychosis. The film links past abuse to present vulnerability, underscoring long-term effects of trauma. This backstory informs her reactions and treatment.

The movie ends with an emphasis on the persistent challenges faced by Kaveri and others like her. It highlights that mental illness carries social consequences that extend beyond medical treatment. The story advocates empathy, sensitivity, and structural change to address stigma.
