Malar, Mona and Gayathri are friends in college. Mona falls for Karthik against Malar's warning that he is a flirt, and Karthik resents her for it.

A call mix-up brings their old feud back, and Vicky, Malar's friend, and Suja, Karthik's friend, urge him to settle it. Karthik has never seen Malar's face, and when he finally does, he falls for her. She will not forgive a flirt, so he follows her and introduces himself as Sundar, a kind stranger.
