Plot
The film begins somewhere in Himalayas, with Krishna narrating his story. The story starts at his hometown, Vizag where Sathya breaks up with him and leaves for Bangalore for her job. Krishna though heart broken, decides to move on. After a while, Krishna stumbles upon Radha, his junior and they eventually fall in love with each other. Later, He too leaves for Bangalore for his job and moves into Arya's (his sister) apartment, where he meets his roommate Rukhsar. On an evening, Krishna runs into Sathya at a party. He tells her about his relationship with Radha while Sathya is still single and left her job to pursue career as a full-time Bharatanatyam dancer. Radha after knowing that Krishna met Sathya flies to Bangalore, after which they along others go to Coorg for weekend. Sathya tries to contact Krishna but he deliberately ignores her calls.
Krishna who wants to clarify Sathya about his relationship status meets her at a dance auditorium. However, Sathya while practicing, fractures her foot and is confined to bed rest for a week. Krishna, now left his job, decides to help Sathya and moves into her apartment. Radha, who is furious after knowing that Krishna has been with Sathya for a week, breaks up with him. Sathya and Krishna now grew closer to each other and decide enter into a relationship again. Meanwhile, Radha comes back to Krishna, telling him that she was pregnant after their Coorg trip and apologizes to him for being harsh. Krishna sympathetically consoling her, lies that he hasn't seen Sathya in a while.
Arya's marriage is fixed and she wants to invite their estranged father, much to the anger of Krishna, who later agrees reluctantly. Then Krishna asks Sathya not to attend his sister's wedding at Vizag, fearing that she might bump into Radha. However, Sathya still ends up at the wedding after receiving a video of Krishna drunkenly telling that he misses her. At the wedding's sangeeth, Sathya and Radha both desired a dance duet with Krishna, putting him in a fix. Krishna's father after observing this, decides to escape his son from the situation by throwing him into a pool. Later at a bar, Krishna's father tells him that he eventually has to pick one among the two and asks to be true to his heart, cautioning not to repeat the mistake that his father did by leaving his mother. Krishna decides to confess Sathya and Radha that he was in a relation with both of them at the same time. He lets go of both of them as he cannot pick one among the two.
Krishna ends his narration and his story is now published as book titled "Krishna and His Leela." Later, Krishna attends Sathya's wedding where he meets all his pals except Radha who has left for abroad. The film ends with Krishna proposing Rukhsar for marriage.
