It focuses on the relationship between Gigi (Sonia) and Padmini (Madhavi).[1] Its songs were composed by M. G. Radhakrishnan, while the background score was done by Johnson.
The movie shows how a young woman, Padmini, who is separated from her husband, becomes attached to an orphan girl, Gigi, she meets while they are hospitalised after a bus accident. Gigi lost her mother in the accident and Padmini decides to take Gigi with her. Gigi is not completely mentally stable and is a special needs child. Padmini brings Gigi to Dr. Padmanabhan, who after initial apprehension accepts Gigi in his institute as a student by day. Gigi gradually improves and Padmini is peaceful. Padmini's separated husband, Sethu still tries to win her back. Padmini had separated from her husband because she lost her children due to an episode of reckless motorcycle riding from her husband. Padmini decides to return to Sethu and adopt Gigi as their daughter. However, Gigi's special behavior annoys Sethu and Gigi starts to feel insecure about losing her mother again. The movie goes on to show Padmini's emotional turbulence.
In the end, Gigi 'plays' hide and seek with Padmini in the forest who tries to find her. Unfortunately, Gigi goes deeper in the forest and goes missing and leaves her doll. Padmanabhan reveals that Gigi has died. While, Padmini mourns over her daughter's loss.
Padmarajan had initially decided to cast Shabana Azmi in the lead role of Padmini. For this, Padmarajan and producer Gandhimati Balan made a visit to Shabana's home in Juhu, Bombay. They spent time with Shabana's father and poet Kaifi Azmi. They realised Shabana had made inquiries about Padmarajan and Gandhimati and was eager to work with them. The three sat down to script reading. After the reading, Shabana agreed to do the role, but on one condition, that the Malayalam dialogues be reduced and prominence given to her expressions. Padmarajan immediately closed his script notebook and apologised to Shabana that it would not be possible.
