Screenplay
Venky (Venkatesh) is a graduate from Anakapalli. He goes to Hyderabad to attend the engagement ceremony of Nandini (Arti Agarwal), daughter of Murthy (Prakash Raj). Murthy is a childhood friend of his father Sekharam (Chandra Mohan).
Nandu is about to get engaged to a software professional from the USA. Venky helps the family in arrangements and soon bonds with everyone. He also has petty fights with Nandu. The relationship starts with hatred and turns into friendship. On the request of Sekharam, Murthy helps Venky in securing a job. Nandu confesses her love for Venky to him. Venky, who does not want to spoil the relationship between their parents, decides to leave the house. But Murthy goes to the railway station and talks to Venky, which makes Venky return. On his return, Nandu stops talking to him. When Venky accompanies Nandu and Pinky (Nandu's cousin) to Nandu's friend Asha's wedding, sparks fly between them. Even though Venky is also in love with Nandu, he does not express it and pretends that he did not have any feelings for Nandu. When they get back, it's time for Nandu's wedding! Venky takes the onus of running the show of marriage. The demure Nandu is shattered. Circumstances lead to everyone finding out about Venky and Nandu. What follows, and how Nandu and Venky end up together forms the climax of the story.
