Oh Manapenne!

Karthik, lethargic by nature, finally clears his B.E. after nearly five years of study. He dreams of becoming a chef and opening a restaurant, but his father offers little support. This setback fuels tension between his ambitions and his family's expectations.

Shruthi is determined to go to Australia and pursue her dreams, but her father shows little interest because she is a girl. She faces gender-based expectations at home as she fights to be independent. Her determination sets up the stakes for her future.

At a matchmaking event, Karthik and Shruthi meet and start talking about their pasts. A door jams when Barath accidentally locks it, trapping them in the same room. The awkward confinement gives them time to connect and share dreams.

Shruthi reveals her past love Arjun and their shared dream of starting a food truck. Arjun travels to Bangalore to discuss their love and business with his father, delaying their plans. Shruthi eagerly plans a surprise but faces uncertainty as circumstances unfold.

Arjun later becomes engaged to someone else, and Shruthi's father and family wait for him in hope. The disappointment pushes Shruthi toward accepting a different path at home, complicating her personal plans. The engagement marks a turning point in her story.

Karthik reveals that he is unemployed and spends time outside with his friends Sathya and Faizal. They start cooking videos fueled by his passion for food, and later try prank videos when money runs short. Their efforts fail to become profitable, highlighting the need for a real plan.

The prank videos land them in trouble when their father catches them, underscoring the family's concerns about responsibility. This incident exposes the tension between playful experimentation and serious ambition. It foreshadows the necessity of a stable path.

During a matchmaking round, Karthik discovers he has come to the wrong address. He must scramble to reach the actual event, creating tension and a hint of comic relief. The mix-up delays his search for a worthy match.

Karthik attends the real matchmaking with a wealthy family, while Shruthi, at her own event, tells the suitor she is not interested. Ultimately, the families decide they could team up to run a food truck, with Karthik as chef and Shruthi handling the business side. This agreement marks the shift from individual search to joint venture.

With family support, Karthik and Shruthi decide to launch the food truck together. They face early difficulties, including laziness and clashes as they adjust to new roles. Despite the rough start, the plan pushes forward.

Karthik visits Shruthi's house and praises her father for being proud of his daughter. He declares that if he ever has a son, he would wish for a daughter like Shruthi. Shruthi's father begins to see Karthik's genuine character, and Shruthi contributes by cooking Karthik's recipe to prove his talent.

With the food truck now a major success, Karthik and Shruthi gradually realize they are in love. Their engagement party looms and the relationship strains, forcing them to drift apart. A radio show organized by Shruthi's friend Ramya brings them back together, giving them a chance to express their true feelings and reunite with family support.
