Spoilers ahead

Starring Upendra in a central role, the film centers on Shiva, a young and carefree man who openly supports love marriages and spends his days helping couples wed against their parents’ objections. One day, aboard a train, he witnesses Tanu making a loud, public proposal from a nearby field. In reality, Tanu is performing a rehearsal for an acting audition, a detail her friend Rishitha points out as she praises the performance and questions who she proposed to during the scene. Misreading the moment, Shiva leaps from the train and closes in on Tanu, who runs away, setting off a chase that threads through a school where Tanu is practicing for a theatre role.
