Plot
Vishwa (Akhil) is raised by Swami (Y. G. Mahendra), a leading sculptor. Although Vishwa is a graduate, he has also learned the skill of sculpting from Swami. Vishwa meets Kavitha (Sija Rose), and both of them like each other. Meanwhile, there is a village where many sculptors come to finish a god's idol that is left incomplete a few years back, but all efforts go in vain as the sculptors are frightened and sent away by a ghost which prevents the completion of the idol. Sarath Babu is the village head, and Rajeshwari (Roja) is his wife. Rajeshwari has enmity with her relative Devanna Gounder (Aadukalam Naren), who happens to be Kavitha's father. As per the advice from an astrologer, Devanna meets Swami, requesting him to visit his village and complete the god's idol. However, Swami insists Vishwa to do the job on his behalf.

Swami tells a flashback to Vishwa. Vetri (Ramki) is the only brother of the village head who falls in love with Masani (Iniya), a lower caste girl from the same village. Masani gets pregnant, and Vetri decides to marry her against Rajeshwari's wishes. However, Vetri stands firm in his decision, while Rajeshwari poisons and kills Vetri. She also insults Masani for getting pregnant before wedding and isolates her out of the village, asking no one to help her. Masani undergoes many hardships as she is left alone. Swami comes to the village to make the god's idol and sees Masani in labor pain. Despite his attempts, no one comes forward to help her. Masani delivers a baby boy, informs about her life to Swami, and passes away. Swami gets furious on the village people and leaves the village without completing the idol, believing that the entire village will one day realize their mistake.

Swami adopts the baby, and he is none other than Vishwa. Vishwa comes to the village and successfully completes the idol. Masani's soul thrashes Rajeshwari which makes her confess all the truth to villagers. Rajeshwari then gets killed by Masani's soul. Swami arrives and informs that Vishwa is none other than the son of Vetri and Masani. The entire village realizes their mistake and apologizes to Vishwa. Finally, Vishwa is married to Kavitha.
