The film opens with Kavin taking up a new job as Team Leader. He has to lead a team in generating a new project. He comes across the HR (Amritha Iyer) and both of them have already met in a not so good situation, but combating egoistically.

Amritha Iyer gets a meaty role. Her characterization is neatly sketched. The director has clearly understood that without a girl character, the movie would definitely turn out to be boredom. He has carefully created and developed this role that works out decent result in screenplay. Actor Kathir brings up an emotional package with his appearance although his role is minimal.
