==Plot==

Ganapati is a young man who lives with his retired father. Despite his father's opposition, he quits his job and becomes a cartoonist at a newspaper publishing house. At this new place of work, he meets Shruti, who was a former classmate on whom he had a crush. Shruti works as a sales and marketing manager at the publishing house.

Ganapati's friend advises him to propose to Shruti. When he approaches her for the same, he has a panic attack and faints as a result. Shruti takes him to the hospital, where he reveals to her that he liked her in college. Shruti reveals that her marriage has already been fixed with Raghu.

An operational mistake during treatment causes Ganapati to develop Alien Hand Syndrome. His left hand moves involuntarily, leading to a series of comedic errors.

He draws a controversial cartoon of a politician, resulting in a fierce backlash from the politician's goons and the termination of his job. Shruti supports him and is sympathetic to his illness.

Ganapathi attends Shruti's wedding but inadvertently disrupts the ceremony when his left hand grabs hers. This causes a scandal and the wedding is called off. Ganapathi and Shruti secretly meet but her father finds out and chases after them. Ganapathi's hand turns the steering wheel resulting in an accident that leaves Shruti badly injured. Shruti's father requests that Ganapathi stay out of her life.

Ganapathi moves on and becomes a successful cartoonist at a comic publishing company. Shruti's father cannot find a suitable groom for his daughter and eventually agrees to her marriage with Ganapathi.
