== Plot ==

This is a story about a young man Ravi ([[Allari Naresh|Naresh]]) who belongs to a middle-class family. His father (Kota Srinivasa Rao), runs a small business and is quite tight fisted when it comes to money. Ravi's best friend Aparna "Apu" (Swetha Agarwal), lives in the same building as Ravi. Apu and Ravi have grown up together and share a very special friendship and Apu has always been there for Ravi whenever he needed anything (especially "money"). Both Ravi and Apu take each other for granted and are unaware of their feelings for each other.

Ravi has a crush on a new neighbour, Ruchi (Nilambari) who has recently moved into the flat opposite of his flat. Ruchi enjoys all the attention and gifts she receives from the opposite sex and is quite a flirt. Ravi who believes he is deeply in love with Ruchi, writes a love letter to her and requests Apu to pass it on to Ruchi without revealing the source. Apu reads the letter and finds the content of the letter very childish. She re-writes the love letter making it more expressive and passes it on to Ruchi. The letter has the desired effect on Ruchi and she loves the idea of having a secret admirer.

One fine day, Ravi introduces himself as the person who has written the love letter and they start dating each other. The love letter (which was not destroyed) accidentally changes a few hands and leads to many misunderstandings and confusion, especially between Ruchi's father and Ravi's mother. Apu starts feeling lonely and hurt and feels bad for her best friend who was so blind to the truth and during this period she realizes her true feelings towards Ravi. The last act comes, when Ruchi invites Ravi to her place saying that she was all alone and that she wants to give a "special gift" to him on her birthday. Before Ruchi bestows her "special gift" upon Ravi, their parents storm into the flat and it leads to a comical mayhem which ends with each character waking up to their own folly. Apu in the meantime has got into a medical college and was leaving town. Ravi gets a chance to read the letter he had written to Ruchi and realizes that it was Apu who had written the letter to prevent him making a fool of himself. The movie ends with Ravi being forgiven by Apu after he honestly expresses how he feels about her.
