One day, Srinivasan and his friends land up in prison for crashing their car on a police vehicle. As expected, his father objects to his son falling in love with the servant's daughter. Soon, he meets the maid's daughter, Thulasi, his childhood playmate and they fall in love. When the parents leave home for a week, Srinivasan is left in the maid's care. He reveals his flashback to the lorry driver, telling him of the disputes between his ambitious father and himself. Srinivasan (Dhanush) escapes from jail and hitches a ride on a truck to meet his love Thulasi (Priya Mani). What follows is a tale of love, betrayal, redemption and healing set against the very rooted town of Benaras and the upbeat political environment of Delhi. His heart breaks and the rage that Kundan feels is inexplicable. However, it instead shatters when Zoya tells him her true feelings. With Zoya back in Benaras, Kundan's world was filled with excitement as he was thinking of finally telling her how he felt.

He carries his feelings all through college and his heart flippes when Zoya came back to his town. Love, they say, is a feeling that only grows stronger with time and Kundan's love for Zoya never diminished. Time passed by and Zoya moved to Delhi to study further. She doesn't take him seriously and brushes him off. She was like a breath of fresh air to him who he would follow every day to the bazaar and back to her house till one day, he mustered the courage to speak to her and tell her his true feelings - his 13 year old heart, smitten by her simplicity. Quiet and beautiful with mischievous eyes, Zoya was the girl of his dreams. Benaras holds a special place in Kundan's heart, because not only did he grow up as a typical, god fearing, shiv bhakt-Pandit but also because it was the city that gave him Zoya. First love in anyone's life holds a special place especially if the memory is filled with the vibrant musings of the city that you grew up in.
