Saga and his three wealthy friends skip their finals on purpose, so that they can continue to stay in college and enjoy themselves rather than face adulthood.
He finally decides to turn over a new life after Kayal (Nikki Galrani), the girl he falls in love with, convinces his father that Saga can be a responsible adult if given the chance.
His parents then put him in charge of his sister's wedding arrangements before leaving for their hometown to meet relatives.
With his family out of town, Saga follows his three friends for a night in the city to celebrate New Year's Eve.
Deva advises Saga to go to Mumbai to meet Mudaliar in person and explain everything since he is a sensible man, unlike Guna.
However, Mudaliar drops a bombshell by saying that after Priya bailed out Surya from the police station that night, both of them went missing and have not been seen since.
After much thinking, Saga realises that he saw such a tattoo on Surya's forearm and he might know about Priya's whereabouts and goes to his flat.
