Plot
[edit]The film begins with Madhu marrying an innocent and traditional girl, Seeta. She is very possessive towards her husband. Soon after the wedding, she vexes Madhu with her overly affectionate nature and traditional attitude. After a while, the pair are blessed with a boy.
All goes well until a mischievous girl, Sudha, arrives. Sudha joins as Madhu's secretary. Once Madhu realizes behind all the mischief there is tragedy, a friendship develops. She had lost her parents. When finding out, Madhu hugs Sudha to provide solace. Unfortunately, Seeta sees this and her suspicion regarding them turns into rage. She argues with Madhu and forbids him from touching her. From there, Seeta hounds Madhu in unusual ways.
Seeta generates bad propaganda by attributing an illicit affair between the two, which blackens Sudha. Thus, Madhu has no choice except to get Sudha home. Accordingly, Seeta quits and applies for divorce. Though Madhu adamantly opposes it, Seeta prevails and leaves their kid with her husband. During that plight, Sudha moves to rectify the chaos. An astonished Seeta reveals that she is terminally ill and suffers from a heart problem. Hence, Seeta made this play to knit Madhu and Sudha together. Affording her husband and young son a new life. Now, Seeta pleads with Sudha to get Madhu ready for marriage, which she does. At last, Sudha reveals the truth and Seeta lives to see her final wishes fulfilled. Finally, the movie ends happily, with Madhu & Sudha leading a delightful life and naming their daughter Seeta.
