In bustling Chennai, Shankar has just finished a degree in nautical science and is waiting for a break in the shipping world. He rents a room in the home of his close friend Bhanu, a diligent medical student who leans on him for support while contending with the uneasy presence of her step‑brother. Their daily routines intertwine, creating a warm, almost sibling‑like bond that colors the cramped apartment with quiet humor and understated longing. The city’s noisy streets and cramped living spaces serve as a backdrop for their shared hopes and unspoken fears.

A chance encounter on a bus introduces Sarika, a lively young woman whose smile instantly catches Shankar’s eye. Their conversations blossom into a tender affection that feels both fresh and inevitable, set against the rhythmic hum of Chennai’s public transport and the occasional rush of youthful optimism. Yet the pair soon find themselves navigating the subtle pressures of family expectations, as both their parents subtly nudge them toward arranged matches, hinting at a future they have yet to fully envision.

The household dynamics grow more complicated when Panneer, Bhanu’s step‑brother, enters the picture with his own reservations and ambitions. His presence adds an undercurrent of tension, subtly influencing how relationships are perceived and decisions are made. As friendships deepen and unspoken emotions linger, the film balances light‑hearted moments with the weight of cultural traditions, painting a portrait of young love trying to find its footing amid familial duties and the everyday bustle of city life.
