Plot summary
Four years have passed since Raghuvaran finished his civil engineering degree, and he still has no job. He is set on a job in his own field and will not accept another profession. That puts him at odds with his father, Krishnamoorthy, who regards him as irresponsible, while his younger brother Karthik earns well at an IT company with their father's approval. His mother, Bhuvana, is the one who supports him. Shalini, the daughter of the neighbors, is a medical student who dislikes Raghuvaran at first; after hearing about the difficulties he faces, she warms to him and returns his love. He speaks of the difficulty of finishing an engineering degree and finding no job.
