Prashant, Chitra and a small boy are stranded in a room where they were asked to talk to each other.  The door gets jammed and the room gets locked.  Prashant and Chitra talk about each other.  Chitra tells Prashant that she is not interested to get married and she came for pelli choopulu due to her dad's pressure.   She tells him that she wants to start a food truck business.  

As the conversation between them continues, they realize that they have lot of things in common. Just them the family comes in and gives a surprise that Prashant and his family are in wrong place.  They are actually supposed to meet some other family.  

So he decides to meet another girl.   But there also he gets disappointed as his would be father in law asks him to start up his own business first and then ask for his daughter's hand.  Left with no choice, Prashant seeks Chitra's help and starts a food truck business in partnership.

Chitra should have been happy that the pelli choopulu is over and what she wants is happening.  But that is not what is going on in her mind.  Does she forget Prashant?  or has she fallen in love with him?  Will that love take her back to Prashant, the guy who has no goals in life...  Rest of the story is as to how this couple solve their problems and get united at the end.

Performance of the artists :

Vijay who actedin a small role in Nani starrer "Yevade Subrahmanyam" has played the lead role with right kind of attitude  He has gone to the next level and given an impression that he is well experienced.  He portrayed his role as a lazy boy with ease.  There is no artificiality in his acting.  Audience will see Prashant and not Vijay in the movie.  This youngster managed to achieve this thing which happens rarely in his first two films itself.,

Ritu Varma should be complimented as she has done a fine job and played her role nicely.  Even though this is not a regular heroine role, she pulls it off perfectly. Her role reminds us of Rupa played by Kamalini Mukherjee in "Anand".  Usually telugu heroines do not get a chance to play such strong roles.  Ritu is very lucky in that aspect.  Lot of care has been taken for her looks and body language. Definitely her performance was excellent.

Priyadarsi ( Hero's friend ) excelled in his role with Telengana dialect.  He is a new actor who brought laughs with his comedy.  The other guy who played the friend role is fine.  Nandu, Anish Kuruvilla, Gururaj Manepalli & The Actor who appeared as Hero's Father were flawless.
