Plot

Tarun is an orphan and a postgraduate, but he is unemployed. He faces constant pressure from his landlord, Valmiki, who demands overdue rent payments. In an attempt to make a living, Tarun takes a job as a bar manager, where he insults Magadha, a local goon, prompting Magadha to seek revenge.

While grappling with these troubles, Tarun comes across an advertisement for a "Swayamvaram" event organized by the wealthy Dhanaraj family, where their daughter Keerthi Dhanaraj is to choose a suitor. Attending the event, which is broadcast live, Tarun becomes infatuated with Keerthi and impulsively kisses her on live television, shocking the viewers and infuriating Keerthi. This action leads to the wrath of Keerthi's cross-cousin, Pawan, who is deeply in love with her but despised by Keerthi. In retaliation for Tarun's bold act, Pawan embarks on a mission to find him. Mrs. Dhanaraj, Keerthi’s mother, announces a cash reward for anyone who captures Tarun.

Meanwhile, Asha is in a troubled relationship with Robin. On the day of their wedding, she has a change of heart and flees, becoming a runaway bride. During her escape, she crosses paths with Tarun, who is also on the run. As both are pursued by various individuals—including Pawan, Magadha, Valmiki, and the police—Tarun and Asha develop feelings for each other. The rest of the film unfolds as Tarun must decide whether to marry Asha or return to Keerthi.
