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 pre-marital 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.
