After studying overseas for a long time, Thomas returns to India to help his father with business. He also wants to visit his aunt, a nun, at the girls' boarding school. But at the boarding school he immediately casts an eye on one of the students: Priya. It is love at first sight, so he is all the more shocked when he learns that Priya wants to become a nun.
Finally he tries to influence her opinion and hires the charismatic woman who understands Deva. He in turn sings and dances into the heart of Priya, who enchants him with her beautiful voice. It doesn't take long for the two to develop feelings for each other.
Thomas gets wind of this and confesses to Priya his love and his hatched plan with Deva. Priya is deeply hurt and is finally convinced that she will become a nun. At the train station Deva tries to stop her and clings to the moving train. After a dangerous fall, Deva is hospitalized.
