==Plot==
==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.
Seenu is a young [[orphan]] who plays an [[Ektara]] and earns money. He meets Junnu at a [[Panipuri|Pani Puri]] stall. Seenu is captivated by Junnu's quirky nature. Junnu is touched when Seenu creates an original tune upon her request, and they become friends. They meet every day and play around the Indravati Park near Ramakrishna Signal. While going to school every day, she gives him a [[Indian rupee|₹100 note]] without revealing her identity. Seenu gifts her a set of [[Bangle|bangles]]. However, their friendship is abruptly disrupted when Junnu's father is transferred to [[Delhi]]. Before parting ways, Junnu writes her phone number on a ₹100 note and gives it to Seenu, but a thief named Pandu steals the note. Seenu chases after the thief but gets hit by a car driven by Sarojini. Sarojini and her husband Prakash [[Adoption|adopt]] Seenu after he survives the accident, thus fulfilling Sarojini's promise to do something good for him. Noticing their sadness, their respective parents ask them, and they reveal about each other. In the Park being [[Demolition|demolished]], Junnu's father and Prakash are unable to locate Seenu and Junnu's address, respectively. Seenu continues to jog around the area daily in the hope of meeting Junnu again. Junnu makes a single bangle out of the set of bangles.  
 
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.
14 years later, Seenu is now known as Avinash, and Junnu goes by the name of Priya. They lead affluent lives but feel a sense of emptiness without each other. After a chance call from an Uber driver, Avinash discovers Priya's whereabouts. However, Pandu, this time, steals Avinash's phone, hindering his efforts to contact Junnu. Determined to reconcile with her, Avinash embarks on a mission to retrieve his stolen phone.


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.
'''Past''': Priya feels sad in Delhi and longs to meet Seenu when she discovers that her father is being transferred to the [[United States]]. Before leaving for the US, Priya decides to search for Seenu in [[Hyderabad]] while attending her friend Kavita's wedding. While picking up his mother from the airport, Avinash and Priya notice each other but fail to recognize each other. They become friends when Priya generously gives ₹100 to street children. Priya met Sarojini on the flight she came, and Sarojini hopes Priya will be her daughter-in-law. Priya invites him to Kavita's wedding. Sarojini and Prakash mention how Avinash is not going for his jog after Priya's arrival and has forgotten Junnu. Avinash now avoids contacting Priya. At the wedding, Priya runs away after being overwhelmed by memories of Seenu. Avinash follows her and accidentally breaks the bangle that Seenu had gifted her.


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.
'''Present''': Avinash successfully retrieves his phone from the phone [[mafia]] and learns that Junnu is at Rockfort [[Music festival]]. Avinash encounters Priya at the festival, where they forgive each other and Avinash presents her with a new bangle and leaves. Determined to find Junnu, Avinash goes to a music stall and starts playing the tune he had created during their childhood on a [[violin]]. Upon hearing the tune, Priya frantically searches for him but fails to locate him. Avinash discovers the ₹100 note with Junnu's phone number on it and repeatedly dials the number, but Priya keeps cutting the call as she is also trying to locate the tune player at the festival. Avinash plays the tune one final time and Priya rushes around in search of the musician. Overwhelmed by seeing Priya's desperate expression, Avinash softly utters Junnu, where she responds with a "yes" gesture and they embrace each other passionately.
 
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.

However, their friendship is abruptly disrupted when Junnu's father is transferred to Delhi. Before parting ways, Junnu writes her phone number on a ₹100 note and gives it to Seenu, but a thief named Pandu steals the note. Seenu chases after the thief but gets hit by a car driven by Sarojini. Sarojini and her husband Prakash adopt Seenu after he survives the accident, thus fulfilling Sarojini's promise to do something good for him. Noticing their sadness, their respective parents ask them, and they reveal about each other.
