Plot

Bhanumathi, a 30-year old working woman is dumped by Ram who wants to seek marriage with a younger woman. Bhanu, though discontented, decides to move on. Meanwhile, Ramakrishna, a 33-year old free-spirited bachelor from Tenali, is offered a better paying job at Hyderabad in the same company where Bhanu works. Ramakrishna accepts the offer and moves into Bunty's apartment. Though hardworking, Ramakrishna struggles to speak English fluently which is abhorred by Bhanu who perceives him as being mediocre.

Bhanu and Ramakrishna are given a 4-day off on the occasion of Sankranti. Ramakrishna advises Bhanu to visit her parents in Vijayawada. Although reluctant, she decides to go with him after her roommates leave to Goa on vacation. Ramakrishna and Bhanu drive to Vijayawada together where Ramakrishna tells her that his family is looking for a match to him. Bhanu's parents also insist her on getting married. Later in Hyderabad, Ramakrishna tells Bhanu that he is rejected by his match after knowing his age. Bhanu relates with him and they start getting closer.

Bhanu notices that Ramakrishna is rejecting the letters sent by his sister who eloped with her lover a few years ago. Bhanu takes Ramakrishna to his sister's place without his knowledge, where he gets emotional after seeing his sister and her son. Following this, Bhanu and Ramakrishna develop feelings on each other. Ramakrishna, however, decides to return her favour by sending an e-mail pretending as Bhanu to Ram, asking to reconcile their past relationship. In reply, Nimmi, Ram's fiance calls up Bhanu and rudely warns her not to contact again. Knowing this, Bhanu chastises Ramakrishna, asking him not to interfere in her personal life. Disheartened Ramakrishna leaves to his hometown.

Bhanu however, feels guilty for being harsh on Ramakrishna and decides to meet him. Arriving at his place, Bhanu expresses her love and seeks forgiveness. They both reunite and affectionately kiss each other.
