Plot summary

Bhaskar, called Risk, works as a stuntman in Tamil films, a trade in which he puts his body on the line each day. He meets Cinthya, a college student, and a few meetings leave them acquainted. Through him she comes to see the hazards the men in his line face, and her concern and affection make Bhaskar fall for her. Learning that she does not love him in return, he wants to step away. Cinthya visits him and asks him to go on being himself and to keep their friendship going. She pledges to marry him if love for him grows in her, and says they would part as friends if it never does. Bhaskar, easygoing by nature, tries every means to win her over, while Cinthya's mother Malar opposes the relationship once she learns of it.
