==Plot==
The film begins with Buchi Babu (Sunil), a simple and well-settled NRI living in the United States. Pressured by his family to get married, he returns to India to find a bride. His family arranges a match for him with Anjali (Isha Chawla), a lively and free-spirited woman who loves to live life on her own terms.
Buchi Babu visits Anjali's home with his family. He is instantly smitten by her beauty and charm. However, Anjali, uninterested in the traditional matchmaking process, pretends to be indifferent and even tries to scare him off by openly stating that she loves someone else.
Despite her behavior, Buchi Babu finds himself genuinely attracted to Anjali and agrees to marry her. But during their next meeting, Anjali bluntly rejects him, stating that she has no interest in him and doesn’t want to settle down in a conventional marriage.
Anjali is in love with her boyfriend, a carefree guy who lacks seriousness. She openly admits her love for him to Buchi Babu, and he, though heartbroken, decides to step aside. Buchi Babu returns to the US, trying to move on from the rejection.
A few months later, circumstances bring Buchi Babu and Anjali together again at a friend’s wedding. During this time, Anjali realizes her boyfriend is irresponsible and not the right person for her. She begins to see the kind and caring nature of Buchi Babu.
Anjali starts developing feelings for Buchi Babu but struggles to express them. Meanwhile, Buchi Babu remains distant, thinking she is still in love with her ex. A series of humorous and emotional incidents bring them closer, and Anjali finally confesses her love.
The film concludes with Buchi Babu and Anjali getting married amidst a grand celebration, signifying the union of two opposites who complement each other perfectly.
