Vijay meets Nithya (Nithya Menon) on the road at night, where he is sitting alone and sad. When she asks about him, he tells her his story.
During a visit to a temple, Vijay comes to know that the decorations were all done by a girl named Geetha (Rashmika Mandanna). He discovers that the girl is unmarried and is immediately attracted to her. Before he can pursue her, he comes to know that his sister's engagement is fixed and leaves for his town Kakinada. Coincidentally, Geetha is his co-passenger on the bus, occupying the window seat beside him. While trying to take a selfie with Geetha, who was sleeping, Vijay accidentally kisses her.
He is shocked to find that his sister is engaged to Phaneendra, Geetha's brother. Vijay and Geetha are then paired to invite wedding guests in Hyderabad. Vijay throughout their time together repeatedly apologises for his behaviour, but Geetha doesn't accept his apology. After a mishap involving Vijay's student, Geetha realises his innocence. Therefore, impressed by his actions and how he handled the situation, Geetha slowly falls in love with Vijay.
Then suddenly Phaneendra's grandfather has a heart attack. His grandmother, fearing that her husband might not be alive to see Geetha's marriage, forces everyone to get Geetha married on the same day as Phaneendra. Phaneendra suggests Vijay's name for marriage and Geetha happily accepts. Vijay, however, turns down the proposal, saying he wanted his wife to have him as the only option, not as a choice. Geetha's marriage then gets arranged to another suitor. Later Vijay feeling guilty, confesses to Phaneendra about his encounter with Geetha on the bus and Phaneendra reveals that Geetha had already told him about it. He then goes onto say for Geetha, Vijay was not a choice but the only option. Vijay rushes to Geetha, talks to her and she finally confesses her love for him. That's when the flashback ends and Nithya proceeds to advise him on what to do.
In the middle of the wedding rituals, Vijay mounts the marriage dais and asks Phaneendra to stand. He falls at Phaneendra's feet in front of everyone and decides not to let go until Phaneendra gave in. Through false information fed to Geetha's suitor by one of Vijay's friend which was the fact that all the fuss going on around him was about Vijay and his family having not enough dowry for Vijay's sister's marriage to Phaneedndra. He leaves the dais angrily thinking poor Vijay sadly didn't have enough money and begs him to marry his sister. Vijay begs Phaneendra to marry Geetha to him. Geetha and Phaneendra agree and they marry.
As the credits start rolling Geetha and Vijay are seen to be travelling to Shirdi on a bus, Vijay kisses a sleeping Geetha on the cheek and she slaps him. Shocked, Vijay again begs for her forgiveness, but Geetha lovingly proceeds to kiss him.
