==Plot==
Prabhu ([[Kamal Haasan]]) is brought up by Murali's ([[Rajinikanth]]) mother and is the General Manager for Murali's [[marketing agency]] at [[Chennai]]. Murali treats Prabhu not just as a friend, but as a brother and depends on him for all business decisions. Prabhu is in love with Padma ([[Sripriya]]), a college student. Padma's relative Jayanthi ([[Jayachitra]]) is a young widow who works at Murali's office. Murali, an [[alcoholic]], with a roving eye is not aware of Prabhu's love for Padma. Padma is the only girl who rejects Murali's advances. Though Jayanthi knows about the love affair between Prabhu and Padma, Prabhu's presence stimulates her sexually. Once she accompanies Prabhu and Padma for a film screening and unable to control her sexual feelings, comes out. Murali offers her a lift in his car; both get excited in the privacy of the car, but suddenly feel guilty about the incident.
Murali ([[Rajinikanth]]) and Prabhu ([[Kamal Haasan]]) are best friends, brought up by their mother. Prabhu is an orphan who was adopted by the family as a child and he has never been given the impression that he was an outsider. Murali and Prabhu are owner and manager respectively, of a marketing agency in Madras. Both work for the same organisation and love the same woman, Padma ([[Sripriya]]).
 
A disturbed Jayanthi avails leave and goes to her village and Padma joins her, as Prabhu goes on an official tour. Prabhu, planning to surprise Padma, proceeds to Jayanthi's village to meet Padma. When Prabhu lands at Jayanthi's home, she is alone as Padma has gone to attend a wedding in a nearby village. Jayanthi convinces Prabhu to stay back overnight, so that he can meet Padma the next day. Jayanthi arouses Prabhu in the night and they make love. Prabhu, feeling guilty about the whole event, writes a letter of apology to Jayanthi and leaves. Devastated to read the note when she returns to Jayanthi's house, Padma returns to Chennai, where she starts distancing herself from Prabhu without revealing why.
In the organisation, Jayanthi ([[Jayachitra]]) works as a deputy to Prabhu and is in love with him, though Prabhu is unaware of this. Jayanthi continues to harbour love for Prabhu even after finding out he loves Padma, whom Jayanthi is friends with and also lives with. Murali frequents a bus stop daily on his way to office, where he always sees Padma. He instantly decides to propose to her. Murali discloses to Prabhu that he wants to marry a girl but does not reveal her name. Meanwhile, Murali's mother looks for suitable girls for their marriage and declares that she wants their marriage to happen on the same day.
 
Murali continues to pursue Padma. When she falls down, he saves her and gets her admitted in a hospital, impressing her father. Murali happily informs Prabhu about his feelings for Padma; being a good friend and grateful for the help given by Murali's family, Prabhu remains silent. He accompanies Murali's mother to formally propose Murali's marriage with Padma. Padma's father accepts the proposal, and Padma remains silent. When Prabhu confronts her, she reveals that she had read his letter to Jayanthi, who is carrying his child. Shocked with the news, Prabhu leaves Chennai without intimating Murali and his mother and they feel betrayed. Prabhu searches for Jayanthi and finally traces her in [[Bangalore]].
Jayanthi becomes confused as to whether she should continue to love Prabhu in spite of knowing that Prabhu and Padma love each other. One day, Jayanthi meets Murali and as they talk, she says things that indicate she feels lonely and has lost her loved one to another. The next day, Jayanthi apologizes to Murali and asks for a 10-day leave. She decides to go to her hometown to forget Prabhu. However, Padma joins her, as she learns that Prabhu is going there as well on a business trip. On a rainy day, Jayanthi is alone in the house when Prabhu arrives to meet Padma. He learns that Padma is attending a friend's wedding, but as no train is available for returning, Prabhu is forced to stay the night. In the midnight, Prabhu starts feeling cold due to the weather, so he starts drinking. After a few drinks, he starts seeing Jayanthi as Padma. Despite knowing he is wrong, Jayanthi and Prabhu make love.
 
He makes arrangements to marry her, but she meets with an accident. Just before she dies, he ties a ''thaali'' around her neck and gives her the dignity of a wife. He goes to [[Ooty]] and works in an estate. Meanwhile, Murali and Padma's wedding is postponed, as Murali falls sick and is advised rest by his doctor. He and Padma come to the same estate on holiday, not knowing that Prabhu is working there. Prabhu meets them and apologises to Murali, who is in no mood to forgive him. But Padma, on learning that Prabhu married Jayanthi before she died, forgives him and tries to come close to him again. Seeing them together, Murali gets angry and takes Prabhu to a cliff; when he is about to shoot Prabhu, Padma reveals that they were originally in love and how they broke off. Murali presents Padma as a gift to Prabhu and leaves to Chennai. Prabhu and Padma finally unite.
In the morning, Prabhu realizes what has happened and writes a letter to Jayanthi, asking her to keep the incident a secret for life, as he wants marry Padma only. However, Padma comes across the letter first and becomes aware of what happened between Jayanthi and Prabhu in her absence. She then decides that, as she respects her friendship with Jayanthi, she will sacrifice her love for Jayanthi and make Prabhu marry her instead.
