== Plot ==
This is the story of three people: Rajeev, Shreya and Revathi. Rajeev dates Shreya for sometime without being deeply in love but eventually gets engaged to her. Just before their wedding, he meets Revathi and finds her as the love of his life, and so he breaks up the engagement. Rajeev is now passionately in love with Revathi. Revathi, being an independent and a no-nonsense woman who needs her space, finds Rajeev over-imposing him on her. She feels suffocated and breaks up with him.
