The movie starts with a baby boy born to Chinnaya (Nassar) from Nagapattinam, who works for Swamy (K. Vishwanath), an astrologer. The astrologer writes the horoscope of the baby and understands that the child will be grown to an intelligent and responsible person but also predicts that the child's life will be only 27 years short. He suggests the baby to be named Sarathy but does not inform about the short life.
