Sachin Kulkarni is a Mumbai based mechanical engineering student who dreams of directing a film. A friend introduces him to cinematographer Anay, who mentors him and helps him become an assistant director. This marks the start of his path into the movie world.

Sachin declares his love for Jessie after meeting her. Jessie is wary because of her strict Nasrani conservative family and protective father, and she responds with friction. The confession sets the stage for complications ahead.

A few days after the confession, Jessie goes to Kerala to visit her grandmother. Sachin and Anay travel to Kerala to search for her, and after several days he finally finds her and apologises. The journey shifts the story to new surroundings.

In Kerala, Jessie introduces Sachin to her family as her classmate. She denies having real feelings for him but agrees to remain friends for now. The family setting creates tension around their relationship.

On the train journey back home, the two grow closer and share a passionate kiss. The moment marks a turning point as their feelings become undeniable. They both start hoping for a possible future together.

Jessie begins to admit that she also likes Sachin but wants to refrain from pursuing a relationship due to potential conflict with family and future restrictions. She weighs the risks against their growing bond. The dilemma heightens the emotional stakes.

A misunderstanding between Jessie’s brother and Sachin makes their parents believe there is an affair between them. The revelation threatens their families and future plans. The couple finds themselves facing social and familial pressure.

Jessie’s parents decide she will marry another man and set a wedding date. The pressure mounts as tradition and family honor loom over her love for Sachin. The couple is pushed toward a crisis point.

On the day of the wedding, Jessie refuses to marry the groom, defying her family. Sachin, who has secretly traveled to Kerala, attends the wedding to witness the moment and confirm his feelings. The abrupt turn reawakens their bond.

Jessie tells Sachin that she has indeed fallen in love with him. He learns that she is not yet married and is not settled abroad as previously feared. The truth clears the path for a possible reunion.

Two years pass and Samantha Ruth Prabhu meets Sachin and falls in love with him. He, however, rejects her ardor as he has not yet moved on from Jessie. This marks the shift into the next phase of his life.

Inspired by his experiences, Sachin drafts the script for his first film, turning his own love story into cinema. He casts Samantha as the female lead and Anay as the cinematographer, naming the project Jessie. The process becomes a therapeutic outlet.

During the production of the film, the team shoots at the Taj Mahal where Sachin spots Jessie in the audience. She explains she is not married and still loves him, reigniting their bond. The moment blurs the line between fiction and reality.

In a final twist, Sachin proposes again and the couple marry on the same day. In the theatre, the audience watches their film end with a reunion, and Jessie praises Sachin for his effort, while he drops her home, signaling a renewed life together.
