Plot
Balakrishna (Kamal Hassan) is an economically poor multi-talented dancer, adept at Bharata Natyam, Kathakali, Kuchipudi etc., and he dreams of participating at an All-India level competition. Madhavi (Jayaprada), a rich girl notices his talent and helps in getting him an opportunity to perform in the competition. As he is all set to realise his dream, his ageing mother passes away, and he is emotionally devastated as a result and fails to fulfill his dream. Slowly, he gets increasingly attached to Madhavi and on the day he wishes to propose to her, he finds out that she is already married, and is separated from her husband. Later, the husband returns to re-unite with her and this forces Balakrishna to sacrifice his love for her. The years pass by since, and Balakrishna, who had lost that hope on realising his former dream and ambition, had become an inconsolably alcoholic newspaper journalist/critic. Meanwhile, Madhavi loses her husband. She comes to know of Balakrishna and his circumstance when she hears of him and finds out that he is seriously ill as a result of his liquor addiction. She takes care of his medical needs and requests Balakrishna to teach dance to her daughter. The movie ends with Madhavi's daughter becoming a great dancer and the demise of Balakrishna, and sends through the message that art is timeless and lives on.
