Sensitive and sincere, he believes his job has a purpose and is both shocked and amused at the cynical attitudes of Manju and Thyagu.Manju has been drafted by Thyagu to assist Arun in his documentary. As Arun and Manju start working together, Arun begins to understand Manjus complex personality. She tells Arun about her unfortunate past relationships how her first relationship in college ended when her lover left her by marrying another woman for the sake of employment and how her second love, Mano Sivachandran, a Christian priests son, used her to satisfy his needs and lust, then called her sister in front of her parents. These incidents have led to her present attitude towards men. Arun later shares these conversations with Thyagu, who warns Arun to steer clear of such women. ........
