Young and ambitious Meenakshi Iyer has better things to do than tie the knot, a decision her family had better get used to. Leading a fast-paced life in Mumbai, the trainee journalist is determined to find the perfect beat and, maybe, the perfect man - but on her own terms.
The charismatic Arjun Rathore, head of the sports desk with the newspaper she works at, is the obvious candidate, that is, until she runs into Rakesh Ramakrishnan, a former suitor she suddenly sees in a new light: as the brilliant young chef at his own restaurant, where business is booming.
When Meenakshi and Rakesh visit Chennai to attend a wedding, the rain - and her feelings - become increasingly difficult to ignore. As floods threaten to swallow the city whole, prompting Rakesh and her family to throw themselves into relief work, emotions begin to pour over. Meenakshi must brace herself for the danger ahead and discover what, and whom, her heart truly desires.
