 The story revolves round five men and a woman. The five are friends and married, but like to have some extra fun. One of them, Ram, is harassed by his suspicious wife Maithili (Kamal-Simran) and his sympathetic buddies decide to give their friend a good time by taking him on a trip to Bangalore. They had arranged a
rendezvous' with Maggie, a call girl, and an old acquaintance. Maggie is found dead in her hotel room, and the men fearing they would be implicated, dispose off her body, and return home. But to their shock, Maggie reappears on the scene, causing confusion in the marital life of Ram, and getting the men into unpleasant confrontation with some anti-social elements.
 It is a comedy of the juvenile kind most of the time. Scenes that generate genuine humour are hard to come by. Earlier comedies of Kamal, like 'Sathi Leelavathi', 'Avvai Shanmughi' and 'Thenali' were better entertainers than this one. The film has shades of 'Charlie Chaplin' the more recent Prabhu-Prabhu Deva starrer. Kamal repeats the roles he has done earlier. There are a lot of artistes, wasted, none leaving a mark, none getting a chance to stand out in individual performances.
 Both by way of her character and her performance Simran cuts a sorry figure. The saving grace of the film is the sizzling presence of Ramya Krishnan and Crazy Mohan's one-liners. As Maggie, Ramya is sensuous, provocative, uninhibited, and dominates the frames, putting all the others to shade.
