Plot
Vivek (Vivek), Narayanan (Chinni Jayanth) and Kannan (Supergood Kannan) are admitted to a hospital for treatment. Babu (Anand Babu), son of a rich businessman, is also admitted in the same ward as them. They become friends in a short time period. They finally come to know that they will live only for few more months: the four friends have blood cancer. The friends decide to leave the hospital and to travel.
They arrive in a small village where Sivalingam (K. S. Ravikumar) spreads terror among the villagers. The friends are accommodated by an old blind woman (Sukumari) and her daughter Nirmala (Nirmala Shyam). Thereafter, Sivalingam's son Kumar (Mohankumar) and the poor village girl Nirmala fall in love with each other. After a lot of struggles throughout the events of the film, the four friends succeed in killing Sivalingam and uniting Kumar and Nirmala, sacrificing their lives in the process.
