Plot
Adi (Darling Krishna), a software engineer, rescues Aditi (Rachana Indar). He then agrees to drop her home as he is going to her hometown Udupi. During the journey Aditi asks Adi about his romantic history. He responds by telling her about his past, from high school to the present.
The film flashes back to Adi's high school years, where he had a crush on a girl from his tuition, Reema (Vibha Kallianpur). His friend approaches her, but she rejects Adi, as her parents had a failed marriage. When he moved on to engineering college, he met Joshita, also known as Jo (Amrutha Iyengar). She is from a well-to-do family, and even though she truly loved Adi, she had doubts about his financial ability to provide her with the lifestyle she desired. Determined to quell her doubts, Adi joins an IT company after completing school. Despite this, Jo breaks up with him due to parental pressure. Heartbroken, Adi meets Nidhi (Milana Nagaraj), a fellow software employee and a down-to-earth woman. Adi and Nidhi form a happy couple, and Nidhi becomes pregnant. Unfortunately, Nidhi is unable to deliver the baby, ultimately being diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Nidhi eventually succumbs to the cancer, despite Adi's hopes that she will survive.
In the present time, Adi shows Nidhi's grave to Aditi, and the film ends with Adi driving Aditi home.
