Plot
editA independent and spirited woman, Sasirekha (Genelia) is ordered by her father to marry an NRI. She is to see a video of the groom and his house, but stamps on it, declaring she doesn't want to get married. When the groom's father demands dowry on the wedding day, she runs away from her marriage. Soon after, she runs into Anand (Tarun). They bond well during their acquaintance and the rest of the movie is about how she falls in love with Anand. As it turns out, Anand is Abhimanyu, the one she was supposed to marry, but due to dowry disputes with his dad, the wedding party leaves without him.
Sasi tries reaching her friend in Hyderabad while escaping her relatives and finding her stolen ornaments with the help of Anand aka Abhimanyu who is deeply in love with her. On reaching Hyderabad after many adventurous events, Sasi get hit by a glass bottle during a strike. A completely teary Abhimanyu takes her to the hospital in auto and Sasi declares her love for him on the way. The climax has Sasi's family and Abhimanyu's family in the hospital where Abhimanyu makes them realise their mistakes and Sasi realises that Anand is indeed Abhimanyu.

Reception
editA critic from Idlebrain.com wrote that "The initial half of the second half is boring (a common problem with journey flicks if they do not have conflict point). The director makes it up in the last half an hour".[5] A critic from 123telugu wrote that "Watch it, simply because there are few better movies running today. The first half is adequate. The second half promises to be brilliant and except for the last half hour does not deliver on that promise. Watch it only for Genelia".[6]
