The movie opens with Shakthi(Shaam) on his way to an interview. After being besotted with a girl(Jyotika) on the way and visiting his mother, he runs to catch the bus. An auto in his way makes him miss the bus but at this point, the movie also switches tracks to start showing us what might have happened had he not missed the bus. In scenario #1, things start off badly with him being late for the interview but seem to brighten up as he manages to meet the girl he had seen before. In scenario #2, he gets the job but never succeeds in meeting the girl. Instead, he unknowingly earns the affection of Priya(Simran), who works with him and has just lost someone dear to her. The two stories thus proceed in parallel, sharing characters and events and converging and diverging at various points.
