Transcription
Plot
Yakshi narrates the story of Srinivasan, a young handsome scientist and lecturer, who is working in a college in Kerala. Srinivasan is doing research on the Yakshis (Vampire). He is in love with Vijayalakshmi, one of the students at the college.
In the chemistry laboratory, he is met with an unexpected accident, leaving almost half of his face damaged. Everyone who used to adore him begins to hate him and avoids him because of his disfigurement. Even Vijayalakshmi deserts him. He is thus infected by an intense inferiority complex and experiences mental trauma.
A mysterious woman, Ragini, befriends Srini and despite his damaged face, begins to love him. Srini marries Ragini. Eventually, he starts to question whether Ragini is human or a vampire in disguise.
