Plot
The story revolves around the paradoxical elements of love and betrayal which lead to bizarre endings. The film is filled with sub-plots and ends with the beginning of possible sub-plots.
Hari is a landlord who shelters Arun, Tovino, and Vicky. Hari is a well-known painter and is in love with Muktha. Abhi is Hari's brother and Vicky's friend. Vicky is a womaniser with a live-in girlfriend, Tina, who cheats on him with another man for a stable relationship. Abhi, who runs a music studio, is married to Aparna but is having an extramarital affair with Shirly. Tovino is a gym trainer who cajoles older women for gifts and is an aspiring playboy.
Arun is also involved with an under-age girl Diya, who herself has ulterior motives. His poor judgements make his life troublesome. Unni is Hari's domestic help who desires to be like Vicky and Tovino, as a skilled womanizer. The story weaves in and out these characters with tight and loosened grip of drama and humour.
