This socially relevant movie explores the darkness of female sexuality on the screen. The lead protagonist Leelavathi Jayanthi is shown as a bold girl to a doting father K. S. Ashwath who is completely outright in wearing revealing attires and expressing her views about the premarital sexual acts. She also comes under many experimental circumstances in her life which makes the rest of the world highly critical about her. She is shown to finally succumb to the moral trappings of the time and her father is also ridiculed for being bringing her up more liberally.
