Raja is the son of a Police commissioner and admires his father very much. He falls in love with a singer, Asha, who performs at his birthday party. Asha rejects his approaches. A few days later, Raja goes to see Asha at her home to convey his feelings. Asha rejects him again and belittles him and his father. Hearing her rather rash words at his father, Raja gets enraged and slaps Asha. In a freak accident, she dies immediately. What follows next is a series of murders that Raja commits in his attempt at hiding the accidental death caused by him.
The music was composed by ShankarâÂÂGanesh.
