Storyline

Megha signs a one-year marriage contract with rich businessman Vijay to save her family. Vijay treats her as a friend, not a wife. When the year ends, he ends the marriage. But he soon regrets it and wants her back. Megha refuses to trust him again. A violent attack and a baby change everything.

Love is not a contract.
