Plot

Sajan Joseph Alukka is a soft-spoken and studious young man, while his junior Priyamvada is smart and outgoing. Her close friend is in love with Sajan, but he avoids her by saying that his only ambition in life is to study hard and become an IAS officer.

However, Priya follows him and digs out the truth that though he hails from a rich family, his father has gone bankrupt and has no money even to pay the exam fee. On hearing this, her friend ditches him. Slowly, Priya starts having a soft corner for him. She even pays his fees while Sajan tries to avoid her and treats this as an insult.

Sajan and Priya fall in love, and she supports him during his preparation for the IAS exam. She is over the moon when Sajan gets his IAS.
