He visits to the music stall where Junnu had played earlier, and pesters them to tell him who the artist is. The poor man in the stall tries to explain him that he has no idea. In desperation, Avinash aka Seenu, plays the tune on a violin; although he has never played a violin before. Hearing the tune, Priya aka Junnu runs around looking for the player. Avinash aka Seenu gives up hope, and stops playing.
Serendipity is that, he finds the hundred rupees note with Junnu's phone number on it.
