Plot
Abhimanyu 'Abhi' Roy, a well known writer, has hit a writer's block, and is unable to write a novel. His manager wants him to write novel quickly. He thus takes a break and moves to his house in Kolkata, along with his wish to attend a birthday party there.

Abhi flashes back to his childhood days, when Bindu Shankaranarayan, a young girl aspiring to become a singer, moved to his locality. The two quickly bonded and became best friends. Abhi fell in love with Bindu, much to his mother's dismay. However, he never conveyed his real feelings to Bindu and was happy being just friends with her.

One day, Bindu's mother died in an accident. Heartbroken, Bindu blamed her father, as he was driving the car while drunk. Her growing resentment towards her father forced her to leave college and go to Melbourne. Meanwhile, Abhi graduated from his college and went to Bangalore to study Master of Business Administration. Both of them remained in touch through letters and postcards, and she tells him that she got engaged (which she breaks off later.) The communication between them stopped.

After a few years, Abhi goes to Goa, where he meets Bindu. Bindu tells him that she is engaged for the third time (she was also engaged in between which she also breaks off) and this time she really likes the guy. Abhi is heartbroken and returns to Mumbai where he works in a bank but stays in touch with Bindu.

One day, Bindu calls him to a restaurant and tells him that she did not marry that man as he fled. Abhi tries to reconcile their friendship and goes out of his way to tend to Bindu's needs. His girlfriend leaves him as he is always busy with Bindu. She starts working as a dubbing artist and they spend more time together and later fall in love with each other. Bindu's dream comes true as she gets a chance to become a singer but her album is not received well upon its release. Bindu is devastated and their relationship is strained because of her failure. Abhi proposes to her for marriage, but Bindu refuses saying she isn't happy and wants to find herself. Bindu leaves for Bangalore. She repeatedly apologises to Abhi and writes emails to him but he never replies.

Two years later, Abhi becomes a writer who writes erotic horror novels, as his first novel becomes a hit. On the day his first novel gets published, he receives a call from Bindu, saying that she is going to marry someone. Hurt, Abhi say he is happy for her, wishing her the best.

As viewers return to the present, it is raining in Kolkata, so Abhi takes shelter in a place where the two friends would spend time with each other. Surprisingly, he meets a young girl, who is revealed to be Bindu's daughter. Bindu is now married to a Mr. Nair. Abhi shows her the manuscript of their love story which has a happy ending to it and gives it to her and says that he doesn't want anybody else to read the manuscript, as it just belongs to two of them.

The film ends as Abhi and Bindu dance together at the birthday party and Abhi saying that today Bindu may be someone's mother, daughter-in-law or wife but for him, she will always remain the same dear Bindu he met in his childhood.
