Plot
Deepu is the pet and indispensable brother of his five sisters. They need him right from taking their children for an outing to replacing gas cylinders and buying cosmetics. Deepu on his part is only too glad to be of help and thus has a special place in their hearts. As he comes of age, his sisters start searching for a suitable girl and after a great deal of hunting the unanimous choice is Priya. Deepu too likes her and the marriage is conducted much ceremoniously. But soon after, some shocking revelations dawn upon him and that too while he's on his honeymoon. Priya's strange behaviour baffles him and soon the entire family is convinced that she is mentally unstable. Even though his family persuades him to leave her and secure another peaceful life, Deepu choses to treat her in a secluded mental hospital with amiable atmosphere. There, he meets a doctor who gives freedom to patients and a whole lot of characters who are at once humorous and emotional. At the end, Priya gets cured but to everyone's shock, she seems to have forgotten Deepu and all about her marriage and yearns to meet her old lover. The movie ends happily with Priya accepting Deepu after realising the hardships he faced for her sake.
