The story begins with Ram, who is a software engineer working in the United States, returning to India for a short holiday. He reunites with his childhood friend Gautham, who is a struggling actor. Ram accompanies Gautham to his auditions and helps him out. During one such audition, they meet Manasa, who is a music teacher. Both Ram and Gautham are attracted to her.
Manasa, who is aware of their feelings, is confused about whom to choose. She spends time with both of them and enjoys their company. While Gautham flirts with her openly, Ram is reserved and shy. Eventually, Manasa feels a stronger connection with Ram and chooses him over Gautham. This leads to a rift between the two friends, and Gautham distances himself from Ram.
Meanwhile, Ram and Manasa's relationship deepens, and they fall deeply in love. Ram's parents are thrilled to hear about Manasa and insist that he bring her home to meet them. However, their happiness is short-lived, as Ram's father is diagnosed with a terminal illness. Ram decides to stay back to take care of his father, while Manasa returns to her hometown.
Gautham, who is still hurt by Manasa's rejection, gets involved with a gang of criminals. He is convinced to be part of a robbery, which goes wrong, and he lands in jail. During a visit to the jail, Ram runs into Gautham and learns about his situation. He helps Gautham out and treats him like a friend, mending their broken relationship. Gautham is grateful, and the two friends reunite.
After his father's death, Ram decides to start an NGO in memory of his father. He seeks Manasa's help in setting it up, and she agrees. As they spend more time together, old feelings resurface, and they fall in love once again. However, Manasa is engaged to someone else, and Ram is heartbroken.
