Plot

Visu (Parimal) is a computer science student who loves to spend time with his friends (led by Suman Setty). Though he is initially portrayed as a bookworm, it is made known in later scenes that he is a happy-go-lucky youngster. Hailing from an affluent family, he lives his own life. He comes across Anjali (Sandhya), also a computer science student. Visu falls in love with Anjali. After locating her whereabouts, he moves close to her residence. But problems begin after he goes behind her. A series of events forces Anjali to elope. She takes the bus in which Visu travels. It appears that Visu and Anjali had eloped together, but that isn't the case. There are a host of interesting events and encounters between them that eventually ends on a positive note.
