Babu, a college graduate with a carefree attitude, Nani finds a shortcut to pass an exam by getting help from an exam supervisor who, as the story reveals, is Keerthi's father Sachin Khedekar. This uneasy alliance kicks off a sequence of events that upend his quiet life and set him on a path toward something bigger than a quick win.
He soon crosses paths with his classmate Keerthy Suresh as Keerthi, and a spark begins to flicker between them. Keerthi’s initial reserve gives way when Babu proves his loyalty by helping her friend Paddu reunite with her fiancé, a gesture that nudges their relationship from friendship toward affection. What starts as a practical favor grows into something warmer, drawing them closer in a story rooted in everyday choices and shared moments.
Complications pile up when Siddhu, the man Keerthi is engaged to, arrives on the scene. Naveen Chandra portrays Sub-Inspector Siddarth Varma, who has already fallen for Keerthi and even meets her father to seek his blessing. After a period of courtship and a demonstration of his ambition, Siddhu earns a posting as an SI, and Keerthi’s father appears ready to acknowledge the match—at least on the surface.
Yet the road to happiness is not simple. Keerthy insists that Babu win her father’s approval and become a legitimate son-in-law. The twist lands hard when it’s revealed that her father is the very same exam supervisor who once rejected Babu for his carefree nature. This revelation casts a long shadow over their plans and forces both lovers to confront the scope of their future together. Keerthy attempts to help Babu by encouraging him to apply for a job, but his reluctance strains the bond, and the couple briefly parts ways.
The tension comes to a head on the wedding day. The bride's father, portrayed by Rao Ramesh, arrives with a gun and demands to seal the match with a formal call to his future son-in-law. Siddhu and Babu step forward in a tense showdown as the bridle of tradition clashes with the unpredictable heartbeat of true feeling. The bride's father challenges Babu, taunts him, and even suggests he should shoot himself, all while Keerthi’s father watches the exchange with wary eyes.
In a dramatic turn, Babu uses the moment to speak from the heart, arguing that Keerthi deserves more than a union built on appearances, especially when her fiancé once loved Paddu. The confrontation forces the bride's father to reckon with the sincerity of Babu’s devotion. After a fraught moment, Babu’s courage culminates in a life-threatening act with the shotgun, leaving him severely injured and rushed to the hospital. The raw truth of his feelings finally sways Keerthi’s father, who comes to accept the couple and their love.
Months pass, and the couple not only graduates but also forges a new life together. Babu steps into local politics, winning a corporator’s seat by a wide margin, a testament to the community’s faith in his spirit and tenacity. Siddhu, watching this transformation, questions the path he chose for his own life and asks his father to look into whether his future wife could be like Babu—someone who fights for love even when the odds are steep.
In the end, the film traces a journey from reckless certainty to shared responsibility, showing how adversity can harden a resolve into a lasting partnership. The story remains anchored in the everyday choices that redefine what happiness can mean when love, courage, and community come together in Babu and Keerthi’s world.
