Then they find themselves in under tremendous pressure to raise money to rescue Ashmitha, so they hatch a plan to rob the bank where they lost their money along with China ([[Manobala]]), who is Twinkle's love interest. Then, police and media covers the bank. After a lot of struggles, they come out safely. Afterwards, they get to know that Ashmitha has no disease, but she is stuck in a big problem.
