Balu and Vijayanirmala begin to fall in love, to the delight of the family. Meanwhile, Vijayaragunath has ordered a group of motorcyclists to find his daughter at any cost. The group grows closer to finding Vijayanirmala as she and Balu prepare for their approaching marriage. Upon the arrival of Vijayanirmala's father, her true identity is revealed. Balu and his family distance themselves from Vijayanirmala, feeling betrayed by her deceit. Vijayanirmala grows ill with heartbreak and is close to death when Balu comes to her aid.
