Suku (Prithviraj Sukumaran), Pious (Indrajith Sukumaran), Murali (Narain) are best friends. Suku and Pious are roomies and Murali is the son of the college principal.

Aravindan (Jayaram) is a rich, short-tempered man, who has the hots for any other woman he meets, while Chandu (Mukesh) an orphan, who is rather is a good person is a glue that holds the group, and Chackachamparambil Joy (Sreenivasan) is someone, whose tomfoolery is beyond description, and he is also very skeptical about everything. The trio’s friendship does take all those highs and lows any other relationship would go through.

Well, if you are a Malayali movie buff, and was wondering, why we missed Vijayan and Dasan on a friendship day, we haven’t. We were just keeping the best for the last! Vijayan (Sreenivasan) and Ramdas aka Dasan (Mohanlal) could undoubtedly say that “You're the Monica to my Rachel.” Vijayan and Dasan are not the ideal winsome friends, they have their own share of fights, pull each other's leg, doesn’t miss an opportunity to trash talk all the time, but there is definitely a friendship between them. Their friendship is more like the Tom and Jerry bond, and is inseparable.
