Plot
The story centers on the romance between Dr. Nalin (played by Ravindra Randeniya), a doctor at a hospital, and Shobha (played by Vasanthi Chathurani), a new nurse who has recently joined the staff.[7]
The primary conflict arises from Dr. Nalin's sister, who is also the matron of the hospital. She strongly disapproves of the relationship between her brother and the nurse and actively works to separate them. The film explores the challenges the couple faces due to this familial opposition within their professional environment.[7]
