Sankaran moves to Madras, hoping to make a living by practicing and performing his art. He discovers the harsh realities of the dance world and how difficult it is to break through the stereotypes and succeed as a male dancer.

Sarojini mentors Sankaran and helps him perfect his dance moves. He soon becomes a renowned and acclaimed dancer in the dance world, earning the title of "Guru". However, his newfound fame brings its own set of problems, and he realizes that the world of dance is as ruthless as it is glamorous.

Misunderstandings and betrayals rise within Sankaran's circle of friends and within his own family, causing him to lose everything that he had worked so hard to achieve. It is only through Sarojini's support and encouragement that he is able to pick himself back up and reclaim his honor and position as a renowned dancer.

Throughout the movie, the audience is treated to beautiful dance sequences that range from classical to modern. The film's music is composed by Ilaiyaraaja, and the songs are sung by legends like S. Janaki and K. J. Yesudas.
