Plot

Siva, an IT professional from Chennai, marries Sakthi from Coimbatore after a progressive courtship where both admired each other's gender‑equality values. She mentions she is tired of her father's orthodox views. Siva shares a cigarette with Sakthi, symbolising their modern mindset. They marry and get settled into Siva's apartment. After about 400 days, Siva visited lawyer Narayanan to file for divorce. The first friction arises when Sakthi removed her thali, which Siva interpreted as a breach of a cultural norm. Later, she refused to cook dinner, insisting Siva join her in cooking.
