Synopsis[edit]
Roja (Priyanka) is a girl who loses her parents and is raised in an orphanage. She later meets her father (Rajesh) without knowing his identity and when her life becomes critical she will need his help. Later Roja gets married to Arjun (Sibbu Suryan) on a contractual basis for one year and they pretend to be a happy couple in front of his family.
Arjun receives Roja's consent to dissolve the marriage after exactly one year by getting signatures in the divorce agreement. Roja accepts this agreement so that Arjun could become involved in a case related to her foster father. Arjun dislikes love and marriage (due to his traumatic past involving his friend Venu's demise), but indulges in the contractual marriage to save himself from the arranged marriage by his parents. Initially Arjun's family, except his mother and siblings, dislike Roja and try to separate them, but in vain. But soon, everyone accepts Roja except Arjun's grandmother, aunt and uncle. At one point Arjun realises he is in love with Roja and tries to make her realise his love for her.
