Chandra (Aadi), alias Chinna, and Yuktha (Shanvi) are childhood friends. They lose touch with one another when Chinna and his family move house. Before they leave, Chinna steals something that is of great value to Yuktha, earning her hatred.

After many years, Chinna turns out to be a talented singer, and he comes across Yuktha in his college. He falls in love with her without realising that she is his childhood friend. She turns out to be an aspiring singer too, and as a result, they soon become friends once more.

Chinna has a band named Crazy, and he invites Yuktha to be the lead singer. They come up with some good tunes and they manage to impress the heads of some music companies. Love blossoms between Chinna and Yuktha and everything is fine, until Chinna discovers that Yuktha is the girl whom he befriended when they were children.

He also finds out that Yuktha still has bad feelings about the childhood incident. Chinna tries every trick in the book to make Yuktha forget about it, but he is not successful. He also faces opposition from Ashish, who has his own plans for Yuktha.

The movie received negative reviews from critics. GreatAndhra termed the film as "Passion-less Love Lore".^[4] 123telugu.com commented "‘Pyaar Mein Padipoyaane’ is a romantic comedy that has very little romance and very little comedy. In the end, it becomes a boring and routine cinema that should have been made 10 years ago. An ok second half cannot compensate for a very slow first half ".
