Merise Merise started in a city in India called Bengaluru. That night, a young man named Sidu
looked frustrated and stressed because he still couldn't find investors to finance
his application project. Sidu is a young man with a master's degree majoring in programming
who comes from a wealthy family but chooses to build his own business without using connections
or help from his father. Sidu's father is a successful businessman who became the CEO of
one of the largest construction companies in India. Sidu's father often asks him to work
for his father's company instead of working hard to build his own company. However, Sidu insisted
on being able to fight with all his own skills and abilities. Seeing her son looking desperate,
Sidu's mother then asked him to go on a vacation with his best friend Raju to Hyderabad city.
The next day, Sidu went to Hyderabad and stayed at Raju's apartment for a while. After arriving
there, they start spending a lot of time together, like playing basketball or the PlayStation.
On the other hand, a beautiful woman named Penela is helping her female cousin named Kavia
to choose the clothes she will wear at a party. Penela, who actually has potential and talent
in the field of fashion, then offers to help design a special dress for Kavia.
On the night of the party, Penela and Kavia came with Penela's designed party dress that looked
graceful and elegant. Sidu, who happened to go to the party with Raju, looked mesmerized by the
beauty of Penela, wearing a simple but exquisite black dress. From a distance, Sidu notices Penela,
who seems to like the panda doll, making him even more fascinated by her charisma.
After Penela and Kavia came home from the party, they visited Penela's fianc 's parents' house,
Haris. At that time, Kavia told Haris' mother that Penela had an extraordinary talent in the
field of fashion, and Kavia was sure that one-day Penela would succeed in becoming a famous fashion
designer. However, Haris' mother's response was not very good. Haris' mother felt that Penela
should not do other things for a while because she had to focus on preparing for her wedding
with Haris. Apart from Haris' mother, Haris is also against the idea of ??Penela becoming a
fashion designer because the fashion industry is a challenging career, and not everyone can do it.
In the evening, Penela looks worried because she still has a strong desire to achieve her dream
as a fashion designer, but on the other hand, Penela's father wants her to get married soon.
She looked at the photo of her mother, who had died for a while, then smiled.
Penela had already decided what choice she would make in her life. The following day, Penela goes
to Kavia and tells her that for the next 8 months, she will try to achieve her dream as a fashion
designer. Penela will start making fashion designs and market them to several boutiques so that her
products can be recognized by many people. Kavia supports Penela's plan and helps her visit several
fashion shops to offer Penela's designs. However, many clothing stores and boutiques reject Penela's
designs because the materials from these clothes are of low quality. Hearing this,
Penela decided to sell her late mother's gold and use the money to buy better clothes. After
Penela worked hard to improve the quality of the materials and designs of her product, one of the
big malls in the city center was finally willing to display her designed clothes in their shop.
The shop owner praised the design of her clothes which was very beautiful and elegant. After that,
she began to produce her designed clothes in larger quantities at a convection factory.
A few days later, Penela and Kavia suddenly got into a motorcycle accident that injured
one of Kavia's legs. At the same time, Sidu coincidentally passes by driving a car,
immediately helps them, and takes Kavia to the hospital.
While at the hospital, Sidu overhears Penela's conversation on the phone.
Apparently, the owner of a clothing store who previously intended to display Penela's
designs had canceled their agreement because her clothing brand was still unknown to many people.
In the evening, Sidu's father returns and asks Sidu to return to Bengaluru.
His father wants him to join and work for his father's construction company,
but he refuses because he still wants to relax and enjoy his life.
Hearing this, Sidu's father was distraught and decided to block Sidu's credit card.
Instead of protesting, Sidu said he would work hard and pay for his living expenses overseas.
The next day, Sidu comes to the hospital to see Penela and Kavia. Sidu says he had overheard
Penela's conversation yesterday and offered to be their assistant. Penela, who wanted to repay
Sidu's kindness yesterday, finally decided to hire him even though she could only pay
him a small salary. Sidu agrees to this because currently, he has no job and no money at all.
The next day, Sidu suggested Penela to have an office so they could work more optimally.
He took Penela and Raju to an empty building that had not been rented by anyone.
Since then, they started to build their office together.
Sidu always accompanies Penela to visit various clothing stores and boutiques to
offer her designs. When Penela was about to pay the production fee to the convection factory,
the factory owner asked her to pay a fine of 10 million rupees because she was late
in paying the production fee. However, Sidu, who realized that the convection factory was cheating,
immediately asked Penela to leave the room first and asked her to contact Kavia.
When Penela leaves the room, Sidu threatens the factory owner that he will report the factory
for violating the law because the factory does not have an official permit and has employed minors.
Hearing this, the owner of the convection factory decided not to impose a fine on Penela and only
received payment in the amount under their initial agreement. The next day, Penela and Sidu continued
their efforts to find boutiques or shops that were willing to market her designs. On the way,
Penela saw several women busy taking selfies to show off their stylish and glamorous dress styles.
This inspired her to market her clothes on social media. Hearing Penela's idea, Kavia said they
should create an application that could be linked to Instagram to attract investors' interest.
Sidu then invites Penela to meet a young acquaintance who is now a programmer.
However, when the young man charged a costly fee to make the application requested by Penela,
Sidu immediately refused because the price was too high for a simple application.
When Penela and Sidu meet with Kavia and Raju, Raju then suggests that Sidu make
an application for their business. Hearing this, he immediately refused because he did
not want to experience the same failure as his project in the past. Seeing Sidu, who insisted
on refusing the request, Raju approached and tried to persuade him to make the application.
Raju said that Sidu should be able to learn from his failures in the past and start
considering this application project as his way to help Penela realize her dream. Hearing this,
Sidu's heart was moved, and he decided to take the job. The next day, Penela and the
others started to decorate their empty room and organized it into a small office called Vasundara.
After the office was set up, Sidu began to do his work to create an online shopping
application for Penela's business. Penela helps Sidu by accompanying him until late at night.
A few days later, they saw an advertisement for a fashion competition held by a leading brand in
the global fashion industry. Kavia suggested Penela to participates in the competition
because if she wins, many people who know Penela's design products and investors will be interested
in collaborating with her. A few weeks later, Sidu finally succeeded in creating an online
shopping application for Penela's business. After the app was released, Vasundara's store
immediately received many orders, and their sales business started to increase. Unfortunately, a few
days after the app was released, the app started crashing, prompting many customers to complain.
Penela kept putting pressure to fix the app immediately and nagged Sidu for his
poor performance. The pressure offended him until he got angry and slammed his computer.
After venting his frustration, Sidu immediately left the office without saying anything.
Sidu then contacted his mother and told his complaint to her. After he calmed down,
Sidu returned to the office to fix the application because he had to remain professional.
Penela, who feels guilty, apologizes to Sidu even though he still ignores her. Penela is even
willing to stay in the office all night so she can accompany him. During Penela's sleep, she kept
talking and apologizing to her mother, making Sidu curious about what happened to Penela's mother. By
the following day, Sidu had managed to improve the application, and many customers gave good comments
on the application. He was satisfied that he had done his job well and immediately left the office.
That day, Sidu meets Kavia to ask about what happened to Penela's mother.
It turns out that Penela's mother has died in a car accident to save Penela.
This often makes Penela feel guilty and blame herself for her mother's death.
From Kavia's explanation, Sidu learns that Vasundara is Penela's mother's name. This
made him realize that Penela has always struggled to make her mother's name known to many people.
Since then, Sidu began to admire and pay more attention to Penela. He even gave Penela a gift in
the form of a panda doll, where he found out that she really liked Panda dolls. After meeting with
Kavia, Penela and Sidu go home together, walking. On the way, Penela asked about Sidu's love story
in the past. He replied that previously, he had a girlfriend, but his girlfriend had an
affair with another person, and since then, he has broken off the relationship between them.
The following day, Sidu invited Penela to meet with one of the investors who
had rejected his project. Unfortunately, the investor refused to cooperate with them
because the man considered that Penela still couldn't deliver her presentation well enough.
In the evening, Sidu's father gives him a birthday present in the form of an expensive luxury sports
car. Sidu seemed happy with the gift because it was one of the cars he had wanted all this time.
But moments later, he changed his mind and decided not to accept the car.
He explained to his father that he wanted to be able to get the car with the money
he made by his own effort. Sidu then tells his father about Penela, who is very hardworking
and brave to fight to realize her dream even though she never gets enough love from her mother.
Penela also dared to take the challenge to achieve her dream even though her fiance's
family balked at her efforts and dream to become a fashion designer. By hearing this,
Sidu's father feels proud of him because now Sidu has become a responsible and mature man.
The following day, Kavia and Sidu convey the good news to Penela. Penela won third place
in an international fashion competition and has been recognized as one of the top three designers
in India. Penela was confused because she had never registered her work in the competition.
It turned out that Sidu had sent all of Penela's works to the most prestigious fashion competition.
Because of Penela's victory in the fashion competition, finally one of the investors
who own a large company in India is interested in collaborating with her. Penela and Sidu went
to the company the next day to sign a cooperation contract. The investor admitted that he was very
impressed with their hard work, who never gave up on improving the quality of their
business products. This makes Sidu feel more confident with the abilities he has so far.
One day when Penela and Kavia were shopping, they saw a live broadcast by Sidu and Raju on social
media. Sidu tries to broadcast the history of Vasundara's shop, which was built by a beautiful
and brave woman named Penela. This immediately made Penela angry because Sidu's actions could
make Haris' family know about her business, and she could get in trouble. As a result,
Haris and his family came to Penela's office the next day to see how much business she had.
Haris and his mother looked angry that Penela had hidden everything from them. Penela then explained
that she really wanted to become a successful fashion designer and could make Vasundara's name
known to the world. After that, she apologized to her father for selling the gold inherited from her
mother to fund her business capital. Unexpectedly, her father felt proud and praised her hard work.
A few days later, Penela hands over all the profits from Vasundara's shop to Sidu
and says that she won't be able to come to Paris for fashion week because it is her wedding day.
Hearing this, Sidu was very upset and had to go to Paris alone.
On the other hand, Penela looks confused on her wedding day because she actually fell
in love with Sidu. A few days later, when Sidu was about to leave for the airport,
he accidentally saw Penela's suitcase and stuffed panda. It turned out that Penela had decided to
cancel her wedding with Haris because she felt that she had sacrificed a lot for Haris' family.
Still, Haris and his family did not want to understand and support her. After that,
Sidu immediately looked for Penela's whereabouts, knowing that she had canceled her wedding with
Haris. After Sidu found Penela, he immediately approached and apologized to her for all of his
mistakes so far. Hearing this, she immediately slapped and hugged him. Afterward, they went
to the airport to attend a fashion week event in Paris together. The moral that can be learned from
this movie is to constantly fight and never give up on the big dreams we have had so far.
