The film story revolves around a young man Surya who has Photophobia, a genetic disorder that prevents him from going into the sunlight during the day. This prevents him from enjoying life during daytime. He is raised by his single mother and falls in love with a TV anchor. He doesn't reveal this medical condition to his lady love as he reasons that she may respond negatively. She feels cheated when she hears about it from others. The rest of the story is about how Surya wins her affection back.
