Love Today

Ganesh, a college graduate living with his easygoing father, sees Sandhya for the first time and is instantly smitten. He becomes preoccupied with her, imagining a future together despite her cool reaction. This moment kicks off a fixation that drives many of his subsequent choices.

He starts visiting the bus stop every day hoping to glimpse Sandhya and perhaps strike a conversation. He asks his friends Ravi and Peter for advice on how to win her over, but their tips prove ineffective against her indifference. The pursuit highlights his willingness to risk everything for love.

Sandhya makes up her mind never to fall in love, prioritizing her studies instead. She dreams of earning a gold medal and seems determined to shut out romance. Her stance creates an obstacle for Ganesh's growing devotion.

Vasudevan, Sandhya's strict police inspector father, grows suspicious of the relationship. He uses physical force on Ganesh and verbally attacks Sandhya, pressuring her to stay away. As a consequence, Sandhya is forced to leave town.

Driven by his love, Ganesh locates Sandhya's whereabouts and decides to head out of town to find her. He leaves his father behind, choosing pursuit over security. The decision marks a turning point where personal longing overrides family ties.

While Ganesh is on the way to locate Sandhya, Chandrasekhar suffers a road accident and dies. The loss creates a new burden for Ganesh, who now faces grief in addition to his unfulfilled quest. The event casts a somber shadow over the pursuit.

Peter performs Chandrasekhar's last rites, providing formal closure to Ganesh's father's death. The cremation occurs without Ganesh's presence, underscoring his absence from his family's final moments. The ritual marks a painful separation from his past.

When Ganesh eventually returns, he is heartbroken because he could not perform his father's cremation. The failure compounds his sense of loss and deepens his longing for Sandhya. Grief and unresolved love ride alongside his memories of the journey.

Sandhya finally reveals that she loves Ganesh and wants to spend her life with him. Ganesh, however, rejects the confession, explaining that he has lost everything because of love and cannot risk more pain. The revelation intensifies their emotional distance.

On the next day, Sandhya is seen standing at the bus stop, waiting for Ganesh to arrive. The moment carries a fragile hope that their story isn't over yet. It sets up a potential second chance even as uncertainty remains.

Following his father's recommendation, Ganesh goes to his first job interview, aiming to start a new life beyond heartbreak and pursuit. The interview represents a potential turning point toward independence. Sandhya's bus-stop vigil continues to hover in the background.

In the final beat, Sandhya persists at the bus stop while Ganesh heads into his interview. The scene leaves the future open, balancing hope with the realities of what has happened. The film ends on a note of quiet perseverance rather than a resolved romance.
