Shobhana (Tamanna), the daughter of a highly-accomplished and educated family, stands out among all the students at her college, not just because she's several shades fairer than them, but also because she's several strata ahead in terms of her upbringing. Think children of daily-wage earners, auto-drivers and drunken fathers, and you will get the idea.

Initially a stop-gap arrangement until she gets admitted to a bigger university, the small-town college overwhelms Shobhana, who's busy coping with a bigger trauma - the death of her mother. However, she is so charmed by her chappal-wearing, oily-haired, English-bumbling classmates' simplicity, that she stays put in the place.

Her gang is one that has stuck together throughout school, and among them is a matronly character, Kavita, who vehemently decides the general group consensus on male-female relationships amongst them - no falling in love, friends forever, boys shouldn't ogle at girls etc. - something that the boys find hard to agree with, but do.

And the usual formula of adolescence follows. The well-behaved, chivalrous Muthu (Akhil) starts by having a crush on Shobhana, but Kavita's severity make him retract. All is fine until some random taunt sets his emotions on in full gear. He realizes he likes her, but hates himself for it.

Meanwhile, in a completely unrelated development, Shobhana is getting advised by Kavita against getting too close to Muthu in public - giving him free rides to college on her Kinetic, for example, is just the kind of scene society loves, to start bitching about girls and boys. Shobhana agrees, but clearly, she doesn't see much point in all that. Especially when she gets to see what Muthu's home is like - it's a hut, his father and sister work in a stone quarry, and his sister doesn't go to school because they don't have the money.

Moved by his circumstances, she starts liking him. While Muthu's trying to repress his raging hormones - so that he may not 'commit the sin of falling in love' - Shobhana indulges her feelings, but only so slightly, out of fear of (Kavita's) disapproval.
