Plot
Rocky (Yash) is a young college student raised in an unloving home. Usha (Bianca Desai) comes from a loving home but lost her mother in death. They meet on her first day of college and it is love at first sight for Rocky. Usha agrees to be friends and Rocky hides his feelings for her. One day he is dismayed to find that Usha has an overwhelming fan crush on a classical guitarist named Vishwas (Aryan). Thinking that he is helping Usha, Rocky tries to arrange for them to meet. Vishwas makes this difficult for Rocky because he believes that he is being sent by the enemies of his don brother (Raju) to harass him. Finally Rocky sees them together and is happy with his work until he realizes that Vishwas is starting to believe that he is in love with Usha. The competition between the two increases until Usha herself realizes that she herself is actually in love with one of them.

Reception
Critical response
R. G. Vijayasarathy of Rediff.com scored the film at 1 out of 5 stars and wrote "Music director Venkat and Narayan score two strong numbers like Valla Vallare and the title song. Dialogue writer Vijay Chendur has written crisp dialogues. But the senseless story makes the film a failure. Cameraman Sudhakar comes off good with his camera work".[4] A critic from Bangalore Mirror wrote "Yash gets a better film to work on next time. If it is a khichidi of other films Nagendra wants to direct, he better stick to his forte of editing. And please Nagendra, do not play those silly cameo roles".[5]
