Plot
[edit]Thirteen-year-old Vineetha and her father, Dr. Vinayachandran go to visit her grandfather, John Samuel, in Ooty on the death anniversary of Vineetha's mother Neena, who died in a tragic accident. The movie flashes back to when Vinay meets Neena at a Church Service and falls in love. Both the families, despite belonging to different religions, give full consent to the couple to marry. After the wedding, Vinay takes Neena to his home back in Manivathoor to meet his mother (played by Sukhumari). Neena accidentally tips over the sacred deepam and it is seen as an omen against a long married life.
