Act 1: The Young Visionary Vicky Raj Madhavan, a boy from a middle-class family, has dreams too big for his pockets. Unlike his father, Karthik Raj Madhavan, who believes in education and hard work, Vicky believes power and politics are the only way to escape poverty.
In 9th standard, he starts an association, gathers followers, and meets local MLAs, ex-MPs, and corporators, learning the political game at a young age. His father, a hardworking man, dreams of sending him to the USA for an MS degree, believing software engineering is the only stable future. But Vicky hates the idea. He sees software jobs as mental slavery, earning fixed salaries while politicians make crores with one signature.
Act 2: The Rebellion Begins Vicky reluctantly joins MPC in a junior college due to his father's pressure, but his mind is never in studies. While his friends focus on academics and fun, Vicky only dreams of building his empire, planning political moves instead of preparing for exams. His parents, despite being middle class, give him everything he needs, hoping he will realize their sacrifices one day. But Vicky remains blind to their love.
Act 3: The Breaking Point COVID hits, and both Vicky and his father test positive just a week before intermediate exams. His father, lying in bed with high fever, still worries about Vicky's exams, future, and life. But Vicky doesn't care. He shows zero concern for his father's health, zero concern for his exams, zero concern for his family's struggles—his mind is only focused on one thing: "How can I get my first political ticket?" His mother, Lakshmi Raj Madhavan, and sister, Aradhya Raj Madhavan, struggle to manage the house and take care of them, but Vicky is lost in his own world of ambition.
Act 4: The Unexpected Distraction Vicky, still struggling between EAMCET and his political ambitions, meets the new girl who shifts into his apartment. When he helps her family move in, he sees her for the first time—a moment of silence, a slow-motion effect, background music playing—Vicky is stunned. For the first time, he is distracted from politics. "Who is this girl?" "Will she talk to me?" These thoughts fill his mind.
Who is the Girl? She could be someone with a completely different mindset—maybe a hardworking, career-focused girl who believes in education and stability, just like Karthik Raj Madhavan. This would create a contrast—while Vicky runs behind power and shortcuts, she could represent hard work and patience. What if she initially hates politics and looks down on Vicky for his failures? This could add conflict and make their story more engaging.

Act 5: The Inner Conflict Begins Vicky starts spending more time thinking about her, but at the same time, he still wants to prove himself in politics. His father, still hoping for him to choose a stable career, waits for EAMCET results, praying that Vicky will get a good rank and join B.Tech. But deep inside, Vicky already knows his decision—he wants to take political science in a government college.
Act 6: The Struggle Between Two Worlds As Vicky's interest in the girl grows, he starts making subtle changes in his routine. He begins to observe her, noticing her dedication to studies and the way she values hard work. She, on the other hand, is aware of Vicky's reputation and initially dismisses him as another failure chasing unrealistic dreams. Their paths cross multiple times—sometimes in unexpected confrontations, sometimes in moments of unspoken understanding.
Meanwhile, Karthik Raj Madhavan watches his son slip further into uncertainty. The EAMCET results arrive, and as expected, Vicky's rank is nowhere near what's needed for a good engineering college. His father's last hope is shattered.
Despite the pressure, Vicky enrolls in a government college for political science. His father, devastated, stops arguing, hoping life will teach Vicky a lesson.
Act 7: The Test of Loyalty Vicky's ambition starts gaining traction. He gets noticed by a rising politician who sees potential in his fearless attitude. This mentor offers Vicky a chance—an entry into real politics. However, there's a catch. Vicky must prove his loyalty by turning his back on something valuable—perhaps betraying a friend, severing family ties, or making a morally questionable decision.
At the same time, the girl who once dismissed Vicky begins to see a change in him. She challenges him, questioning his choices, making him confront his beliefs. A silent battle rages within him.
Act 8: The Final Crossroads Vicky stands at a critical point in his life. His father's dreams are now mere shadows in the background. His family still supports him despite their disappointment. The girl he's drawn to challenges his way of thinking. His political ambitions are finally within reach, but at a significant cost.
