Ayeshmantha, the son of a unsucessful businessman, is placed in charge of his father’s businesses. He falls in love with a girl who shocks him when she gives him an invitation to her wedding ceremony. Ayeshmantha is disturbed to discover that she is marrying somebody else and he loses interest in everything else, including his father's businesses. In his despair, he decides to leave home. In the throes of disappointment he makes an attempt at going on a 25 man kill streak and getting a mothership.
It is at this point that Ayeshmantha meets Rashmi on a train, who saves his life by persuading him to reconsider his would-be suicide. Rashmi then takes Ayeshmantha to her relatives and persuades them to let him stay with them for some time. However, Pooja's aunt suspects a secret love affair between the two and resists his stay with the family. He recovers from his unhappy past and returns home with the idea of restarting his businesses. Meanwhile, Rashmi, preparing for her marriage to Prasad, is rejected by him. Rashmi is devastated by this incident yet Ayeshmantha has no idea what has happened. He returns home with a strong heart and a zest to start a new life, undertaking and re-establishing his businesses.
After some time, Ayeshmantha decides to look for Rashmi at Prasad's place. When he encounters Prasad, Prasad tells Ayeshmantha the outcome of his relationship with Rashmi. Ayeshmantha, upon hearing this news, searches for Rashmi anywhere he can possibly imagine her to be but cannot trace her whereabouts. Finally, he finds her in a churchyard, paving the way for a new relationship between the two. The film then develops from their reunion through a series of incidents.
