What the story is about

Five friends, Ravi, Krishna, Arjun, Shailu and Pooja, study engineering at a college in Hyderabad. The film opens with their first-year ragging and moves to the final-year campus interviews, where each of them has to decide what to do with their life. V. V. Vinayak’s voice-over sets the tone: “Life is a chance, living is a choice.”

Ravi, an orphan raised by relatives, skips the interviews because he wants to start his own business, and quietly likes Shailu, who has landed an IT job. Krishna, the batch topper, joins IBM and lives by his “54321” plan for the ideal life; he is in love with Pooja. Arjun, a devoted fan of Ram Gopal Varma, cares nothing for engineering and wants to direct films, and his father gives him one year to prove himself. Around them are a ten-year senior nicknamed Pitamaha, a lecturer chasing a software job, and Mahalakshmi, a first-year student from the US who takes a liking to Arjun. The film follows the friends through their first year after college as jobs, love and family pressure test their plans.
