In this love triangle, the narrative revolves around the heroine's loss of memory. She has two suitors, one before her loss of memory and the other after. One is a professor and the other an adventurer. This poster was designed for a later re-release of the film. It reduced the artistry of Bide Viswanathan's original poster to a much plainer and more basic depiction of the three central characters.

| Physical description | This is a very simple design which concentrates on the three main characters. In the foreground is a female portrait and behind her are two male figures - thus indicating the 'love triangle' theme of the film. The title in red is in the bottom right hand corner. This poster was printed for a later re-release of the film and has lost the painterly aspect of the original poster design by Bide Viswananthan (see IS.24-2001). |
