The respectable faculty instructor Rajan (Nazir) marries Sindhu (Sheela), the orphaned inmate of a house for destitutes. The feudal conservative hypocrisies of the hero’s household are graphically criticised: Rajan’s cousin Chandran admits he as soon as had intercourse with Sindhu, and Rajan’s snooty brother, the physician Jayadev, fathered Sindhu’s daughter Bindu. Sindhu additional confesses on her wedding ceremony evening that she suffers from venereal illness.
