Arjun (Silambarasan), also known as Arjun Kumaralingam, is a carefree, fun-loving guy living in London. He meets Nisha (Varalaxmi Sarathkumar) at a nightclub, and they instantly hit it off. Nisha is a passionate and aspiring dancer, while Arjun is more laid-back and has no specific ambitions.
As their relationship progresses, they fall deeply in love. However, their differing priorities and personalities lead to several conflicts. Arjun’s casual attitude towards life and Nisha’s dedication to her dancing career often clash. Despite these differences, they decide to get married.
Their married life is far from smooth. Arjun struggles to understand and support Nisha’s ambitions, while Nisha feels stifled by Arjun’s lack of seriousness. The tension reaches a peak when Nisha gets an opportunity to participate in a prestigious dance competition. Arjun’s lack of enthusiasm and support for her dreams causes a major rift between them.
Amidst these conflicts, Nisha becomes pregnant. Arjun hopes that the baby will bring them closer, but Nisha remains focused on her dance career. She faces a tough decision between pursuing her passion and embracing her responsibilities as a mother.

The movie ends on a positive note with Nisha winning the dance competition and the couple finding a balance between their love and individual aspirations. They learn to support each other’s dreams, leading to a stronger and more understanding relationship.
