He gets a job in Kapil Chit Funds as a collection agent, but the manager puts a condition that Mahesh should have a two-wheeler. Mahesh's mother (Tulasi) sells off some silver articles, and he purchases a bike to join for the job. One day, Mahesh's father suffers a stroke, and Mahesh loses his bike while bringing medicines. Though he lodges a police complaint, it is of no avail. Mahesh goes jobless without the bike. One day Mahesh finds Arjun riding his bike, and they fight with each other for the bike. Mahesh learns that Arjun has purchased the bike at a thieves' market after winning a bike race. They finally come to an understanding on the advice of a priest to use the bike to suit the convenience of each other by dividing the day. They keep their promise and use the bike judiciously.
