Aadyaa

Aditya Shankar, a San Francisco-based investment banker, gets a voice call from his ex-girlfriend Sangeetha after a long gap. They studied medicine in the same college and wanted to marry, but her father arranged an alliance with an entrepreneur named Karthik. In the present, Rishi, who still loves Sangeetha, leaves for India on the pretense of attending a relative's marriage. He hires a car from Babu Khan, a travel agent, takes a SIM card on his sister's address and stays at Hotel Marriott.

Rishi meets Sangeetha at a restaurant and learns her five-year-old daughter Aadyaa is missing. She laments that no one else, including Aditya Shankar, believes that Aadyaa actually exists. Aditya Shankar also learns about Karthik's brother Bobby, a drug addict who regularly visits her home. Aditya Shankar begins an informal investigation which fails many times, also inviting the ire of two African-American gangsters in the city. Babu, who helps them in transporting drugs, saves Aditya on humanitarian grounds. Posing as Vasanth Khanna, a police officer, Aditya meets Karthik and learns that the couple was childless. Karthik recalls Sangeetha being attacked by two masked men before a school to steal her car. He added that Sangeetha went into a coma and post-recovery started claiming that she had a five-year-old daughter named Aadyaa.

Perplexed, Aditya later watches a closed-circuit television video footage of the masked men attacking Sangeetha on the day when Aadya went missing. Unfortunately, Aadya is seen nowhere in the footage, which makes Aditya doubt Sangeetha's mental condition. He confronts Sangeetha , who refuses to acknowledge that Ria is imaginary. Rishi sees height markings of a child on a wall, and before he could react, Sangeetha commits suicide in his presence. ACP Shruthi and Inspector Ravi Chowdary investigate the suicide case. Khanna is killed in Marriott, and Babu confesses to Sangeetha that he saw Bobby kidnapping Aadyaa. They meet Jaya and Chowdary and get Bobby arrested. In custody, Bobby is killed by Shruthi in an act of self-defense.

That same night, Khanna's murderers attack Babu and Aditya, and Babu is killed in the process of shooting the murderers to death. Aditya watches a MMS in the murderers' phone sent by Shruthi instructing to kill him. Aditya meets Shruthi at her farmhouse, where Aadyaa is hidden. Shruthi reveals that Karthik wanted to kill Ria and arranged the attack on Sangeetha, after which Shruthi found Aadyaa in Bobby's custody. After meeting Aadyaa, Jaya conspires to raise the girl as her daughter because she had lost her own husband and unborn daughter in a car accident. Shruthi wanted to name her daughter Aadyaa, so when she saw Sangeetha's daughter, she convinced herself that her daughter has come back. Thus, Shruthi made a deal with Karthik; Karthik wanted Sangeetha to suffer so according to Jaya's plan, he convinced his friends and family to pretend that Aadyaa never existed, saying Sangeetha cannot bear the shock of her daughter's death.

Before Jaya can kill Aditya, Chowdary shoots her after listening to the conversation on his way to the farmhouse with his subordinates. Aditya is arrested and reveals that Aadyaa is not his daughter, as a medical report confirmed him sterile in the past. Then, Rishi Aditya his last meeting with Sangeetha; she visited him to invite him to her wedding, and they made love. Aditya now realises Aadyaa is his biological child. As he approaches Aadyaa, he sees a reflection of Sangeetha smiling at him.
