Plot

Kargil is a war not between two countries but between two hearts. Arjun (Jishnu Menon), an IT professional, romances with his lover Maha, who fights more, which Arjun treats as his love. Maha informs about her father, who travels from the US next week, and asks Arjun to receive him, impress him, and get permission for marriage. Arjun accept that with a smile and says he will marry Maha immediately as Tatkal marriage once his father arrives. On that day, Arjun travels alone from Chennai to Bangalore in his car without receiving her father, and Maha as usual gets angry with him and disconnects the mobile. Throughout the film, Arjun travels alone in his car and speaks in the speakerphone with all the other characters. Along with Maha, the trouble arises from Sindhu, his ex-lover and current MD, boss Kings, missed call Beep Sahayam, Inspector Vincent, and US return Aadhi. Finally, Arjun resolves his problems, believes in his love, states that his trust is his love, and finally impresses Maha's father and convinces her.
