The story is about three friends -- Vinod (Asif Ali), Santhosh (Nishan) and Kochumon (Abhishek) -- who are yet to enter the life of employment, entrepreneurship or just proving one's worth. Vinod, who is rank holder in BA History, is studying hard to get a government job as it the only way his uncle played by Jagathy Sreekumar will allow him to marry his daughter Kalayani (Ananya). Santhosh on the other hand dreams of opening a Computer Training Centre and is in love with Vinod's sister played by Nimisha. Kochomon wishes to fly off to the Gulf, and is virtually discarded by his father played by Indrans.
Things go awry after the trio helps Mahesh (Vineeth Kumar), Vinod's school friend to elope with the daughter of his mother's rival played by Devan. The incident affects all three. Santhosh loses one of his legs, Kochumon his hearing and Vinod loses Kalayani, as he cannot get into government service after having a police case against his name.
On the surface this film looks like a frame to frame copy of Nadodigal. But it still works though it is difficult to pinpoint the reason why. Maybe it is actors or the subtle tweaks that the director has given to the screenplay.
This film scores a few points in the technical department too. Vipin Mohan's camera captures the scenic beauty of the region really well.
