Plot

Prasanth (Vijay Deverakonda) goes to Chitra's (Ritu Varma) house for a ″pelli choopulu″ (matchmaking). Prashanth is a well-educated guy who completes his B.Tech by clearing many subjects for almost 5 years, but he is also lazy and incapable of doing any work. His dream is to become a chef and open a restaurant, but he doesn't get any support from his father. Chitra is a very focused girl who works hard to fulfill her dreams of going to Australia. However, her father shows no interest, as she is a girl. When both of them meet at the pelli choopulu her nephew, Subhash, locks the door and they get stuck. To make the time pass, they talk about their past.

Chitra reveals that she was in love with a rich guy named Nandu. They both wanted to start a food truck business. Nandu went to Delhi to talk with his father about their love. Meanwhile, Chitra started her plan eagerly, and was ready to surprise Nandu by buying the truck. Then things went wrong and due to some problems with his family, Nandu had to stay in Delhi. Chitra and her father waited for him but when they realized Nandu wasn't coming back, her father decided to get her married to someone else.

On his turn, Prasanth reveals that he was unemployed and always went out with his two friends. When he wanted to make money, he decided to make prank videos on YouTube for a living but got caught by his father. Realizing his real talent was in cooking, he made cooking videos but it wasn't profitable enough. Then, he got a job in a call center after he was recommended by his father. He started going out with a girl to show off to his friends, but she cheated on him. He found out about it only when her second boyfriend called him at work, and quit his job after having a fight with his boss. Then it is revealed that Prasanth came to the wrong address for his pelli choopulu. Later, Prasanth goes to his original pelli choopulu, which was with a rich family. Meanwhile, Chitra tells the guy coming to her pelli choopulu that she's not interested in marriage. The family of Prasanth's bride wanted him to be able to run a business, so he and Chitra decide to operate the food truck themselves, with Prasanth as the chef, and Chitra in charge of the business side of things. At first, they undergo many difficulties, mainly through Prasanth's and his friends' laziness as well as fighting with Chitra and giving up the food truck. Later they make up and each convince the other's father to let them do what they want. After this, their food truck becomes a smashing success. In the process, they fall in love without knowing it, but both of them have other people they are engaged to, so they drift apart. After realizing they love each other, they come back together with the support of their family and friends.
