When her father forces her to get married after finishing school, she flees her wedding with the aid of her mother. With her former teacher Sharadha's help, she joins the Meenakshi Shivanandham college, which is owned and run by Sharadha's in-laws. The story presents Vennila's struggle for her right to study at the college, as her pursuit of education faces continuous opposition from both Sharadha's in-laws and members of her own family alike.
