==Plot==
Seenu ([[Mikhail Gandhi]]), an orphaned street urchin, has a friend named Junnu ([[Myrah Dandekar]]). He makes a very close bonding with her. But one day, Junnu's family moves to [[Delhi]] because of her father's transfer. The day she leaves, Junnu gives her phone number to Seenu written on a hundred rupee note, but a thief steals that note. While chasing the thief to get the hundred rupee note, Seenu is hit by a car driven by Sarojini and her husband, Prakash. They later adopt Seenu after taking him to the hospital as Sarojini promised the lord that if the boy survived, she would do something good for him.

After fourteen years, Seenu (who is now named Avinash) ([[Akhil Akkineni]]) along with Junnu (now named Priya) ([[Kalyani Priyadarshan]]) are both living affluent lifestyles but are not happy without each other. He finally discovers her whereabouts on a whim by hearing a tune they created during childhood while on a wrong call with a cab driver. The cab driver says that the location is a music fest, but a street thug steals his phone. So, he sets out to get it back in order to reconcile with Junnu.

A flashbacks reveal Seenu/Avinash's journey with Sarojini and Prakash as a happy family. Junnu/Priya is sad in Delhi thinking about Seenu and learns that her father is being transferred to the [[United States]]. Before leaving for the United States, she thinks of finding Seenu in [[Hyderabad]] and attending her close friend's wedding. While picking up his mother at the airport, Avinash sees Priya but does not recognize her. Later Priya and Avinash meet again when Priya distributes 100 rupees to poor street children. They meet at the wedding but Priya, reminded of young Seenu, runs away. Avinash follows her and accidentally breaks the bangle, which was gifted by Seenu they were friends in childhood and was very dear to her. Being heartbroken, enraged Priya slaps Avinash.

The story returns to the present after Avinash retrieves his phone back from the phone mafia. He learns that Junnu is at the Hyderabad Music Festival. At the festival, he meets Priya, who is still upset about the fight they had at her friend's sangeet/wedding. They forgive each other, and Avinash gifts her a new bangle and wishes her all the best for her new life. Searching for Junnu, he goes to a music stall and starts playing the same tune they created during childhood. Junnu, hearing the song, desperately runs searching for him but cannot find him.

Avinash finds the hundred rupee note with Junnu's phone number on it, and dials the number repeatedly, but Junnu/Priya cuts the call repeatedly as she is also calling searching for the tune player's location in the fest. She finally picks up the call, speaks with him, but Avinash's mobile runs out of battery. He now knows that Junnu is also in the music festival.

He visits the music stall again where Junnu had played earlier and plays one final time. Hearing the tune, Priya/Junnu runs around looking for the player. Stunned by seeing Junnu with a desperate look, Avinash murmurs, identifying Junnu followed by a sign of her saying yes, and they both embrace each other in love.
