Janakiraman alias Johny is a kindhearted slum dweller who is very fond of his mother. Sandhya is a rich girl staying in a nearby locality. Sandhya meets Johny and befriends him and his other friends as well. Johny has big respect for Sandhya as she treats him with respect despite living in a slum. Slowly, friendship blossoms into love for Johny; however, he does not have the courage to speak up to Sandhya, who treats him as her best friend.
Sada is a local baddie living in the same slum who locks horns with Johny most of the time. One day, Sandhya informs Johny that her parents have decided for her to marry Dinesh, who is their family's friend. Johny understands that Sandhya still views him only as a true friend and decides to hide his love. However, Johny learns from Sada that Dinesh is a big-time womaniser and that Sada was working as a pimp for Dinesh. Sada also discloses that both he and Dinesh are infected with HIV/AIDS. Dinesh plans to marry Sandhya despite knowing about his illness.
Now, Johny plans to cancel the wedding and save Sandhya. Johny meets Dinesh and requests him to cancel the wedding, but Dinesh's henchmen beat Johny and also kill Sada. Johny is accused for Sada's death and is arrested by the police. On the day of Sandhya's wedding, Johny escapes from the police and kills Dinesh in the marriage hall. Johny reveals the truth about Dinesh, and Sandhya thanks him for saving her life. Sandhya praises Johny in front of everyone as her true friend who is ready to go to any extent for her well-being. Johny, although feeling like disclosing his love towards her, decides to hide it as he does not want to break her trust. He is then re-arrested.
