Storyline

Karthik is an overweight man who starts working at an ad agency, where his odd personality keeps others at a distance. He becomes interested in a colleague named Kalpana, who initially mocks him, but his kind nature eventually wins her over. Meanwhile, a separate romance develops between their coworkers Sandhya and Altaf.

An unlikely love wins over pride and prejudice.
