Pramila and Vicky goes trecking and sky diving together. When their adventure ended, Vicky embraced Pramila and the photos were published in local magazines. Pramila felt a strange bond towards Vicky.

One night when Vicky and Pramila were attacked by some goons, she confesses her love to Vicky, but Vicky refuses her proposal and promises to find her a suitable groom. A roller coaster ride of meeting and refusing grooms ensues, where one of them named Sachin, a police officer, embarrasses Pramila by their photograph on magazines. Pramila becomes sure that Vicky would eventually accept her. Pramila's old friend Ashok arrives in NY where he starts to woo Pramila. It is revealed that Vicky had learnt about Ashok and called him to NY to woo Pramila. Pramila learns about this, which breaks all her hope. She feels devastated and starts to ignore Vicky.

Vicky feels the void left by Pramila and feels lonely. His friend Nandu tells him that she understood the love of Pramila and wants him to accept her proposal. Vicky meets Pramila, but she gets hit by a car when she crossed the road. At the hospital, Vicky and Pramila confess their love. After their marriage Vicky comments that he would never kiss her again as his first kiss punished him with marriage. Vicky started to work in his family business now.

Reception

Critical response

Shyam Prasad S of Bangalore Mirror scored the film at 2.5 out of 5 stars and says "The audience will also miss Harikrishna and Arjun Janya. Except for the lead actors, the rest of them are wasted. Sadhu Kokila does not evoke a single laughter while Brahmanandam’s debut in Kannada is forgettable. If it was not for the presence of Puneeth and his huge fan base, Ninnindale would’ve been a disaster." Shyam Prasad S of The Times of India scored the film at 3 out of 5 stars and says "Puneeth Rajkumar’s fans may not want to miss him in an adventurous avatar. Erica Fernandes is impressive as the girl next door. But PG Vinda’s outstanding cinematography is the high point of the film. Mani Sharma’s music will leave you humming."Sify wrote "Camera work by P.G.Vindha is brilliant and shows the beauty of New York in a very standard mode. Sky diving and breathtaking aerial stunts form the highlight of the movie. The expected movie has lived up to its expectations and has been welcomed grandly by the audience."
