Plot
editThe film begins with an accident. Gautham is abducted by Gejje Kesari. On the way, Gautham is forced to narrate his tale as he talks of stopping a marriage and Kesari too talks of preventing a wedding. Hence, the flashback. Gautham is ready to propose to Ramya with a bunch of roses, but destiny has other plans. Elsewhere, Nithya is playing cricket and hits Gautham with her shot. He is then taken to the hospital in the stretcher. Ramya falls in love with Dr. Anand, who was treating Gautham and they get married eventually. Gautham is invited and leaves for the wedding, but cannot face Ramya. When he walks out, he gets drunk and meets a drunk Nithya who actually was in love with Anand. They go around freaking during the night and part ways the next day.
As destiny has it, they happen to meet in a pub after a few days. Gautham accompanies her everywhere. He realises he's in love with her, but before he could tell her, he finds out that she is already engaged. Gautham steps back and stays secluded. Nithya and her fiancé end their engagement over an argument about Gautham. Unaware of this and having moved on, Gautham starts dating a veterinary doctor Kavya, but they break up after an altercation. Nithya realizes that she loves Gautam and goes to his house after his mother dies, to propose to him, but is shocked to see Kavya in his house. Thinking that they both are married, she leaves to Bangalore and accepts the marriage proposal her parents set for her. After realizing Nithya misunderstood him, Gautham and his friends leave for Bangalore to stop the marriage.
On the way to Bangalore, their car stops and Gautam asks for a lift and they accept and that is where he was kidnapped. After a big fight between Gautam and Kesari, it is revealed that Kesari was looking for the one who gave Gautam a lift, not Gautam. He helps Gautam to reach the wedding. Gautam's friends, who reach the wedding hall, reveal the truth to Nithya. In order to meet Gautham, Nithya escapes from the wedding and ends up asking Kesari for a lift, who accepts looking at the jewellery she is wearing. After listening to her, Kesari realizes that she is Nithya that Gautham came for. He drives back the car to the wedding hall and Nithya take the gun and kidnaps Gautam. Then after a comical scuffle, Nithya reunites with Gautham.
