Five young people decide that life is not worth living anymore for various reasons.

Anand Babu, the son of a judge is an idealist and never suspects that the many gifts that are showered upon him by his father were things received as bribes. One day he shoots a video song about corruption in the society dressed as a robot. Seeing this, his friend remarks that his own father is very corrupt. The angered Anand Babu beats up his friend and challenges him that if that were true, he would commit suicide out of shame. Back at home, he sees his father taking a large amount of money as bribe for a lawsuit. The shocked Anand Babu argues with his father over his corrupt practices. His mother budges in and starts justifying corruption which has brought the family luxuries like the bungalow, car and Anand's Yamaha bike. Besides, a large amount of money is needed for the marriage dowry of their two daughters (Anand's sisters). Anand is unable to bear this and immediately sets fire to his new Yamaha bike. He leaves home.

Babloo is the only son of a rich business man (Cochin Haneefa). He is motherless. He is in love with the computer operator, Suguna (Vishali Kannadasan) working in his father's office. He is a happy-go-lucky guy. One day his father comes to know of their love and despises it as he has big plans to marry his son to the daughter of a rich, potential business partner. He threatens Babloo to not marrying Suguna. But the much pampered Babloo is adamant in marrying her. Meanwhile, Y. Vijaya, the widowed mother of Suguna also objects to their love, fearing for problems arising due to the difference in their social status. Cochin Haneefa comes up with a plan to stop the couple from marrying. He convinces Y. Vijaya in remarrying him thereby making Babloo and Suguna as step-siblings. The couple is heartbroken. Babloo wants to commit suicide but Suguna wants to continue to live as the new step-daughter of the rich business man. She soon shows her own brand of revenge by heavy partying and boozing and having one night stands. Whenever arrested she proudly proclaims being the rich man's daughter.
