Santhosh (Mammutty) and Shakthi (Hamsvardhan) are two colleagues at a work place who are the 'Senior' and 'Junior' respectively. Both of them fall in love with the same girl Indira (Leena). Leena chooses Mamutty who is the wealthier of the two. Mamutty is happy that he has succeeded in his love life and gets busy with his marriage plans when he starts re-questioning Leena's decision. While Hamasavardhan is trying to fall in love with Leena initially and finally trying to get over her, another girl Varsha (Charulatha), the daugther of Hamsavardhan's boss flirts with him but in the end takes things as they come. Though there are a lot of shortcomings in the film you can watch it for clearing the rest of your thoughts, which you should probably leave behind when you go to watch the film.
Santhosh a middle-aged Malaysian-based executive, takes Shakti, working in a hotel, under his wings, giving him a place to stay in his house. The duo fall for the same girl Indira (Leena), each not knowing about the other’s interest, the girl herself maintaining an easy camaraderie with both. Varsha, the daughter of Shakti's boss, finds him husband material, after putting him through various tests. A reason for the director to show Charulatha at her sizzling seductive best as she puts the ‘tests’ for Shakti. Shakti turns her down, but the die-hard romantic youth has an unpleasant surprise when he proposes to Indira, and learns her reasons for rejecting him. Meanwhile, Santhosh jubilant that Indira had accepted his proposal, makes preparations for his marriage, till circumstances make him do a rethink on the whole affair. The narration tends to be a little lagging and monotonous towards the end, the director however finally finishing his tale with a fitting finale.
