Kundavi (Jyothika) was brought up in a small village called Ambasamudram. She has two school friends but one day both get married and leave. Kundavi’s father then arranges her marriage to Goutham (Surya Sivakumar). Both look gloomy during the wedding.
Six years later in Bombay they have 5 year old daughter Ishu (Shriya Sharma) and live as a happily married couple. Goutham works as a chief mechanic and goes to New York for a short period. During this time, Kundavi comes across Goutham’s old college diary. In college, he was attracted to Ishu (Bhumika Chawla), a local MP’s daughter. Gautham and Ishu fall in love and they decide to get married. At the registrar’s office after Gautham ties the thali, Ishu’s father and his men beat him up. At the end of the diary, Goutham writes a note: “if I have one wish, it would be to live with Ishu happily at least for one day.”
Goutham comes back from New York and finds his wife changed. She works late and avoids him. She finds Gautham’s lost love Ishu. Ishu has changed to a western clad modern girl in contrast to the salwar kameez she wore in college. Kundavi asks Ishu to visit them and she tells her husband that he should live happily with Ishu for a day, then leaves.
Kundavi returns home and finds Ishu’s letter: “30 minutes with your husband showed his love for you. Every word he pronounced was Kundavi Kundavi Kundavi; whom am I to disturb your life?”
Thus the story ends with the happy reunion of Gautham and Kundavi.
