Plot

Manu and Priya's ardent love story unfolds, delving into the depths of their emotions. Manu goes to great lengths to fulfill his promise and their love faces a profound transformation when destiny triggers an unexpected turn.

Manu is an innocent, simple man and a car driver to a business tycoon Shankregouda. His lover is a college student Priya. She dreams of living in a beachside house with Manu and her family. Manu wants to fulfill his lady love's dream. One day Shankregouda's son Preetam drinks and drives, thus killing a man. In order to save his reputation, Shankregouda requests Manu to take this blame on himself and admit the same in the court trials. In return Shankregouda would bail Manu out and give him anything he desires.

Thinking that he could make enough money for the beachside house if he does according to Shankregouda, Manu accepts before the judge that he is guilty. With the assistance of Shankregouda's lawyers, efforts are made to bail Manu out. One morning Shankregouda dies of heart attack. His manager Prabhu who is greedy and corrupt suggests Shankregouda's wife to not waste money on Manu as it was Shankregouda who had promised to help money. She agrees too.

Now Manu has neither the money nor power to help himself. Meanwhile Priya, desperate to free Manu tries contacting Shankregouda's wife, lawyer and Prabhu. But everybody ignore her. She sells some of her ornaments, hires a new lawyer for Manu's case. She even quits her education to earn money. In the jail, Manu is being beaten up by Soma and his gang and has a tough time. He later joins Patila and his team in weaving.

There are subtle moments of love expressed between the couple in the jail through cassette tapes and meetings. Manu requests Priya to let go of him and marry someone else as it was not possible for him to be released anytime sooner. After an emotional turmoil, Priya does accordingly.
