Bhagyalakshmi (Sridevi) is injured in an accident and reverts to the mental capacity of a seven – year old. She winds up in a brothel but is rescued by Srinivas (Kamal Haasan) who eventually manages to get her the help she needs and cures her even if it is only partially only to lose her. It is a beautiful and whimsical tale even if it does not pass scientific muster.
