Yaradi Nee Mohini narrates the success of true and strong love.

Dhanush is a middle-class boy who repeatedly faces failure in his job-hunt, because of his lack of communication skills and appropriate qualifications. His father, a strict teacher, always reminds him of his inadequacies.

Dhanush's youthful life is dimmed because of his father's constant remarks and his own fear of failure. He stands on the verge of identifying his own self, in pursuit of success in life. During moments of self-doubt, Dhanush seeks help and support from two of his childhood pals.

Aimless and in need of a big change, Dhanush sees Nayantara and falls in love with her almost immediately. The love and longing that he nurtures within himself for Nayan brings him soothing relief and recharges his battered ego.

Dhanush gets a job in a software company and with quite a big stroke of luck, he ends up working beside his lover.

The innocent young man assumes that finally his life has taken the desired course. He describes his feelings to Nayantara when both of them go on an official tour. But Nayantara's reply comes as a big blow to the enthusiasm and hopes he had gathered for himself. Nayan refuses to accept his love and also supplements it with the shattering fact that she is already engaged to be married to one of her relatives.

Dhanush's feelings crumble and he sinks into deep depression. Witnessing his sorry state, Dhanush's father appeals to Nayan on behalf of his son. A furious Nayantara treats him badly. Unable to face the disgrace, the father, a principled man, dies of a heart attack the same night.

Dhanush lands in a state of distress and loss. His friend takes him to his own house, hoping that mixing with his many family members will be refreshing for Dhanush. There, Dhanush meets Nayantara, who happens to be a close relative of his friend. He also learns about the forthcoming marriage planned between Nayantara and his friend and their respective families.

Dhanush plans to step out of his lover's life, but fate does not let him go.

At that crucial moment, his long-term friendship, his love, and his lover's life vie with each other, confusing his decision. How Dhanush solves them and whether he unites with Nayantara forms the climax of Yaradi...
