Plot
Mohan is from an average middle-class family. He lost his father to alcohol and has an elder and a younger sister. Against their family's wishes, his older sister married his friend, who works at a water filter company. Despite supporting their marriage, Mohan faces challenges in his own life. He works in an IT company and constantly clashes with his boss due to his limited English fluency and an earlier situation where Mohan placed a complaint on the boss for sending emails to female colleagues. Additionally, his snoring problem causes him to be looked down upon by his colleagues, earning him the nickname "Motor."
Anu, an orphan living upstairs in a house owned by an elderly couple who act as her grandparents. Mohan accompanies his brother-in-law to the couple's house for water filter maintenance and meets Anu. They develop an interest in each other and start dating. Anu considers herself unlucky due to the early death of her parents and several incidents, but Mohan reassures her and they begin a new life together. However, Mohan's snoring becomes a concern for him, fearing its impact on their marriage. Anu promises him that it is not a problem.
Later, Mohan discovers that Anu has been sleep-deprived for two weeks and even fainted at her office. Hurt by this, he decides to sleep in a separate room, straining their relationship. Mohan makes various efforts to overcome his snoring problem, but nothing works, further straining their relationship. Meanwhile, Mohan's sister becomes pregnant after a long time, but loses the baby during a phone conversation with Mohan. Both Mohan and Anu blame themselves for the incident, leading to further strain in their lives.
As their relationship deteriorates, Mohan also faces disrespect at his job. Anu receives a job offer in Dubai and considers taking it due to their strained relationship. However, they reconcile in the end after a comical encounter, and the movie concludes with Anu getting used to Mohan's snoring and embracing her life with him.
