Ashwin, an aspiring filmmaker, meets with actor
Vishnu Vishal to narrate his debut film story, "Vidiyale Vaa," a spoof thriller and psycho killer tale. However, the actor suggests that Ashwin come back with a better story. The actor's manager, King, recommends a love story suitable for the actor's image. So, Ashwin decides to narrate a love story based on his past relationships with three different women in his life. He begins with his first love story, set when he was in the 9th standard. Growing up in a dysfunctional family, where his father is a firm believer in astrology, leaves his government job to pursue a business venture, while his mother works as a bank employee. Ashwin finds solace in his paternal uncle Murali, a theater manager, and escapes into the world of cinema. Idealized cinematic portrayals shape Ashwin's perception of love, and he develops feelings for his school senior, Raveena, who also happens to be his neighbor in their apartment. Raveena secretly meets Ashwin on the terrace, and they share a kiss. Ashwin's friend Rakesh "Rasna" Narayanan tells him that Raveena loves him, but Ashwin later discovers that Raveena's true love is actually someone else named Christopher. Heartbroken, Ashwin confronts Raveena, who rejects him, making it clear she's not interested in him romantically. Next, Ashwin intentionally skips mentioning his second love story and jumps to his third, where he falls for Meera, his best friend Anjali's cousin. Rasna is set to marry Anjali, and Ashwin accompanies Meera to
Goa for the bachelorette party. As Rasna and Anjali spend time together, Meera and Ashwin grow closer, and Ashwin is drawn to Meera's pragmatic nature. Despite their three-year age difference, Ashwin believes he's found his perfect partner in Meera. Meera mentions her past relationship with her ex-boyfriend, Gopal "Gops," and Ashwin shares his second love experience in college. He had been infatuated with a girl who seemed interested in him, but it turned out she was a lesbian who was actually in love with Anjali and was using Ashwin to get close to her. Meera, touched by Ashwin's innocence, kisses him. However, Meera is shocked by Ashwin's aggressive behavior when Ashwin gets into a road rage incident on their way back from the trip, which reminds her of her uncle's ruggedness. She shouts at him, but later apologizes. When Ashwin asks if she loves him, Meera confirms her feelings with a kiss. Under her guidance, Ashwin starts working as an assistant director to
Mysskin. However, Ashwin's father disapproves of his son's career choice, leading to Ashwin moving out and staying with Murali. Meera tries to console Ashwin, but his anger makes her uncomfortable, causing her to leave. Meera's uncle exploits her father's property, beats her mother, and prevents them from moving to the
USA, subjecting Meera to torture at home. In desperation, Meera reaches out to Ashwin, but he ignores her calls. Their relationship deteriorates due to unresolved trauma, culminating in a heated argument where Meera accuses Ashwin of being self-centered. Ashwin's aggression frightens Meera, eventually leading to a breakup. After learning that the story is based on Ashwin's real life, Vishnu Vishal encourages Ashwin to meet Meera and document their real-life reunion for the film's second half, insisting on a genuine and non-fictional ending. Ashwin's ego is hurt, but Vishnu Vishal is keen on collaborating if Ashwin delivers a true-to-life conclusion. Years after their breakup, Ashwin is now working as an assistant director to Mysskin, where the film's storyline has the lead character Vayamma, played by Vishnu Vishal, renouncing violence for his love for Padma, a role played by
Anju Kurian, resonates with Ashwin. Mysskin asks him to put aside his ego and meet Meera again, and he decides to go meet Meera in
Manipal. Ashwin finds that Meera is now engaged to her ex-boyfriend Gops, and they are planning to move to the USA soon. Though Ashwin apologizes to Meera for his immature behavior during their breakup, their reunion doesn't lead to a romantic rekindling, and Vishnu Vishal asks Ashwin to write another story. Meanwhile, Meera discovers that Gops only wanted to marry her to gain a visa to the USA, and she breaks up with him. Ashwin focuses on fixing his family issues and decides to separate his parents. Ashwin's father, who had been missing his wife, begins to realize his mistakes. Ashwin learns that Meera's mother got locked in a room at Anjali's home and rushes to rescue her. However, he slips on a wet floor and gets hospitalized. Meera misunderstands that Ashwin came to Manipal only for his movie and not to apologize. After watching a video of Vishnu Vishal talking about Ashwin's reluctance to make their love story into a film to protect Meera's peaceful life, her perception of Ashwin changes, and she decides to meet him in
Chennai. At the film shoot, Meera unknowingly walks into a scene where a bomb blast is planned. Ashwin rushes to safeguard her, and although he gets caught in the blast, Meera rescues him. She apologizes for misunderstanding him and regrets her past actions. With Ashwin and Meera reunited, Vishnu Vishal agrees to proceed with the film based on their love story. The filming commences successfully, and Ashwin's parents, who have put aside their differences, visit the set to witness the filming. == Cast ==
