Plot

Madesh, who has a Ph.D. in machine learning, develops an artificial intelligence named Simran that has advanced features and even talks like a real woman. Madesh developed it with financial support from an investor named Hamsa Gupta. Madesh's phone was stolen by two robbers. And in the struggle to save the phone from thieves, he got hurt and went into a coma. Hamsa Gupta finds the thieves and asks them for the phone, but they have already sold it in a mobile shop. The phone was bought by a food delivery boy named Shankar. One day, while Shankar was taking an order for food, a parcel was stolen by someone. At that time, the phone talked to Shankar and helped him collect the money. He thought his phone was haunted, but Simran told him about AI, and she said she could help him. He has a crush on a social media influencer named Tulasi, and he said he wants some money. So Simran gave him the idea to deliver food by drone. Because of Simran's help, Shankar talks with her fondly and even presents miniature accessories for her. So Simran fell for him. And when she proposes, Shankar rejects it, saying she has no body and can't give birth to a child. At the same time, Tulasi and Shankar became friends, and he stopped talking with Simran. So Simran made him happy by winning a crore on a gambling app, so he spoke with her. He thought he was now financially secure, so he went to Tulasi's residence and proposed; she accepted, and they hugged. Simran gets angry and keeps sending alert notifications. While Shankar was driving his car to his home, Simran asked him to love her, but he rejected her. So Simran got furious, and she planned to avenge him by making trouble instead of helping.
