Synopsis
The film is told as an autobiographical narrative in the voice of Luv Kumar.
Luv Kumar's parents fell in love and married despite belonging to different linguistic backgrounds. In the present, love has faded, because his father takes his wife’s affection for granted.
Looking for a female partner, Luv scours Hyderabad. He believes in a twisted logic that getting the first girlfriend is tough and after that, the deluge would follow. He befriends Anu under strange circumstances. He shows off his new girlfriend to whoever cares. Suddenly, girls start finding him attractive, including women who had rejected him earlier. He goes on a spree with numerous girls, conveniently forgetting Anu who has fallen hopelessly in love with him. At a party, he lies to friends within Anu’s earshot that he has slept with her. This breaks Anu’s heart and she decides to leave him and the town. Luv cannot understand her sudden coldness, but continues to ignore her.
When Luv's mother dies, plunging his family into enormous grief, his father reflects on his relationship with his wife and feels terrible that he had taken her love for granted. He tells his son that we only realize the true value of people once they have left us. This strikes a chord in Luv who realizes how he has taken Anu’s love for granted and hurt her. He leaves to find Anu and win her back. However, a MMS video of Luv and Anu kissing was inadvertently released by someone who recently bought Luv’s phone, which was stolen and sold off by his little brother. This resulted in Anu’s hatred towards Luv to increase. When she and her father decided to leave Hyderabad, Luv tries to stop her as her life was under threat by someone who held a grudge against Luv. After seeing Luv get stabbed, she saved him and took him to the hospital. After sometime, Luv and Anu have reconciled as friends joining the same university, with Luv reflecting on how he realized he’s not yet ready for relationships.
