Sachin is a student of mechanical engineering in Mumbai who aspires to become a filmmaker. His friend introduces him to cinematographer Anay . With Anay's help, Sachin becomes an assistant director. Sachin's family, who are Marathi Brahmins, rent Jini house. Jini is from a conservative Malayali Nasrani Christian family from Alappuzha, Kerala, that lives upstairs. Sachin falls in love with Jini the moment he meets her. Sachin tries to interact with Jini, who is afraid of speaking to men around her strict father, and ends up angering Jini. Unable to hide his feelings for her any longer, Sachin confesses his love for her, to which she does not respond. A few days later, Sachin learns from his sister that Jini has gone to Kerala to visit her grandmother. He, along with Anay, ends up in Kerala to look for her. After several days, he finds her, apologises and she introduces him to her family in Kerala as her "classmate". Jini denies she has any feelings for him, but agrees to be his friend. On the train journey back home, however, the two get closer and share a passionate kiss. Sachin is convinced Jini loves him; the two meet several times and Jini begins to admit that she also likes Sachin, but wants to refrain from any problems because she knows her father wouldn't give her hand in marriage to a Hindu. Consequently, due to various misunderstandings between Jini's brother and Sachin, her parents learn of their supposed affair. They fix a match and schedule her wedding. The day arrives and midway through the ceremony, Jini refuses to marry the groom, displeasing everyone in her family. Sachin, who had, without anyone's knowledge, come to Kerala to witness the wedding is ecstatic and secretly visits Jini at her home. It is then that Jini admits she has indeed fallen in love with him. Sachin and Jini continue to love each other without the knowledge of their parents.
At this point of time, Sachin goes to Goa on a 40-day shoot, where he gets busy. Meanwhile, the topic of Jini's marriage comes up again at her home when the guy whom she refused to marry earlier pays them a visit. Panicking, Jini calls Sachin and tells him that she wants to elope with him. Sachin, who he is travelling through less than ideal places, tells Jini to stay in Mumbai for now, and that soon he would be back and they can discuss. Jini stops taking Sachin's calls and so he goes back one night to check on Jini. He comes to know that Jini has decided to break up, as the relationship is not peaceful due to her parents' disapproval. She says she has agreed to get married to a boy of her parents' choice. When Sachin pleads her not to do it, she tells him that a time had come when she was willing to elope, but the moment was gone. She doesn't want Sachin to wait for her, as he has his dreams to fulfill. Sachin later comes to know that she is married and settled abroad.
Two years later, Sachin meets Samantha (Samantha Ruth Prabhu). She falls in love with him, but is rejected by Sachin who feels that he hasn't yet gotten over Jini. He then comes up with a script for his first film, which happens to be his very own love story. He calls upon an actor as the film's protagonist, Samantha as the female lead and Anay as the film's cinematographer, and the film is eventually titled Jini. While shooting for the film in Taj Mahal, he sees Jini and she comes to speak with him. She admits that she is not married and is still in love with him, and he too says she is still in his heart. Sachin proposes yet again and they get married the same day. This is actually revealed to be the end scene in Sachin's film – which Sachin and Jini in real life are watching together in the theatre. After the film ends, Jini praises Sachin for his efforts and the latter agrees to drop her home, implying that they are reunited.
