Best known for starting the sexploitation genre in Malayalam cinema, Sasi adapts a script of the novelist and director Padmarajan (Koodevide?, 1983), a story of an aging, brutally practical businessman who reluctantly pays for the education of an orphaned girl originally sponsored by his father. The schoolgirl falls madly in love with the middleaged businessman who, when the girl is about to be sent to a nunnery, allows himself to accept her love.
