Krishna Mohan 'Krish' is an NRI who comes to India for business reasons. He meets his project manager, Mahalakshmi 'Mahi', a traditional girl; they eventually become good friends rather than the boss and the employee. Krish believes love is an emotional game with some rules and regulations to follow. Mahi believes that love is life. Krish has a possessive girlfriend called Jennifer, whom he constantly avoids. Mahi has a boy friend called Gopi, who also constantly avoids her. Time passes, and Gopi finds himself red-handed with another girl in front of Mahi. Then he shows his real face, blames her for his cheating, and breaks up with her. Later, after knowing the facts, Krish makes her confident and tries to understand that love is a game to get control of other partners. He criticizes her for not having self-respect and becomes a scape goat, and no boy cannot be attracted to her with this attitude.

Then Mahi decides to up her game and gets a makeover. She keeps teasing Krish that she is not a scapegoat anymore and can attract any boy in the world. Poking fun at her, Krish challenges her to impress him and prove her point. Then she accepts the challenge and tries to attract him in various comical circumstances. One day at an office party, Mahi boozed for the first time, and after the party, he kissed Krish. After this, Krish realized that he had fallen in love with Mahi and decided to propose to her. But suddenly Mahi's parents come home and misunderstand them, and her mother makes a ruckus. However, Mahi manages the situation and sends him out. Later, Mahi shares her guilt with Krish for cheating on her parents, who believe her and send her to do a job in the city.

Later, Mahi finds Gopi at her home, who comes to get her after observing changes in her. He tries to force her to start a relationship again, then suddenly Krish intervenes, and Gopi starts a brawl with him. Then Mahi stops Krish and takes the side of Gopi; then Krish misunderstands her and leaves her with him. Later, Mahi meets Krish and asks for his help making Gopi with her. He always thinks about her. However, with the help of Krish, Mahi starts her game with Gopi, who finds Krish sad and possessive about her and fears her advanced moves with Gopi. Later, Mahi goes with Gopi to a farm house for a night, which she informs Krish about, which makes him shattered and doubt her character.

The next day at the office, Mahi meets Krish and tries to share her feelings with him, but Krish stops her and yells at her. Then suddenly a surprise visit is given by Jennifer, which shocks Mahi and Krish. To show his anger toward her, he moves close to Jennifer in front of her. This situation makes her doubt his character, but she tries to explain her feelings to him at his home, the possessive Jennifer stops her and sends her back by taking a company file from her. There she finds a letter that was written to Krish by Mahi. Later, Krish finds her resignation in the office and feels sad about losing her.

Then, after a week, Jennifer confronts Krish and tells the truth about Mahi and Gopi at that night.
