Krish is a carefree, ambitious young man who shares his life with his brother, Naresh, and his sister-in-law, Jhansi. His bright-eyed lure is wealth, and his plan to secure it hinges on marrying Manju, the daughter of the powerful Simhachalam. Yet his love is not genuine. Instead of true affection for Manju, he hatches a calculated scheme: he woos a girl named Meenakshi, known as Meenu, and crafts a fake romance with her to win Manju’s heart. As the plan unfolds, Krish meets Meenu and, gradually, he begins to feel real attraction for her. The line between manipulation and real emotion blurs, and Krish finds himself pulled toward Meenu in ways he hadn’t anticipated.
