Gowri is a rich girl and she falls in love with Suresh (Suresh) against her parents’ wishes. As Suresh has gone to abroad for a short period, Gowri preferred to stay away from her home as they would force her to get married to someone of their choice. She also says that the four guys are so genuine and she liked their friendship which made her feel safe. Just to get their sympathy, she pretended to act as a dumb girl. The four guys are convinced by her reply and allow her to stay with them until Suresh returns. Gowri also sings well and the friends get an opportunity to perform at a big function. Meanwhile, Suresh returns from abroad and unites with Gowri. Now Gowri leaves to Suresh’s home. Suresh, a rich guy does not like Gowri making friendship with these four poor people.

The four friends come to Suresh’s house to request him to allow Gowri to perform, but he does not permit. Gowri also requests her friends to vacate the place as she cannot violate Suresh’s words.
