Prabhu is a happy-go-lucky youth, who runs an auto rickshaw.
Their life takes a turn when Priya (Karthika) arrives in their locality. Priya gets acquainted with them. She helps them overcome their inferiority complex and succeed in their careers.

Critical reception
'Times of India' wrote "It is well presented but the film still falls short of expectations. In an era of short texts and fast communication, it is a bit out of synch." 'Behindwoods' wrote "Although it largely sticks to the plot of its predecessor and remains loyal to the original, the movie falters to adapt itself to the current state of affairs. After all, in todays world of speed dating, a dying heroine who hooks up the hero with another girl hardly makes for good viewing."
