Plot
It is a Telugu-speaking community in Kolkata where a football player named Surya (Sharwanand) falls for a medical student named Vaishali (Sai Pallavi). The love story is not as simple as it appears to be. Surya starts trying to make Vaishali fall for him. After Vaishali falls in love with Surya and starts talking about marriage, Surya breaks up with her due to his fear of commitment as a result of his parents’ failed marriage. Vaishali tells him that exactly after a year, they will meet in Kathmandu, Nepal and decided whether they should get married or not. Exactly after a year, the Nepal 2015 earthquake occurs, where Surya is searching for Vaishali. Simultaneously, Vaishali is searching for Surya in Kathmandu. Immediately after Surya spots Vaishali, she is injured and is diagnosed with retrograde amnesia (which nobody knows about) and still acts as if she is fine, with her friends and family except Surya. The rest of the story is how Surya realizes that Vaishali is actually diagnosed with retrograde amnesia and how he realizes that Vaishali is perfect for him.
