April Fool

Rakesh hosts a weekly Friday gathering with his friends, where they ridicule ‘talent’ behind the scenes. They revel in this cruel ritual and treat family appointments as optional, showing how far they’ll go for a laugh. The scene sets the casual cruelty that knits the group together.

One of Rakesh's friends meets Krishnanunni on a bus trip and thinks he could be entertaining for the group. The chance encounter plants the plan to showcase him at a dinner that promises comic mischief.

Rakesh calls Krishnanunni and invites him to dinner, hoping to gauge his potential as a singer. Krishnanunni is excited at the prospect of meeting a music producer who could help his career. The invitation sets the stage for a chaotic evening.

Krishnanunni arrives at Rakesh's home carrying a photo album of his musical life and big dreams. He embodies boastful charm and a self-promoting aura that both amuses and unsettles the others. The encounter blends showmanship with the hope of advancement.

During the night, Rakesh accidentally falls into the swimming pool and injures his back. His back is sprained, leaving him unable to move freely and severely limiting his ability to host or participate. The injury forces a shift in the evening’s dynamics.

Despite the injury, Rakesh decides to meet Krishnanunni to judge his potential and to salvage something from the night. He pushes through pain to see if the newcomer can truly entertain or help his career in the long run. The stubborn choice keeps the plot moving.

Before Krishnanunni arrives, Rakesh's wife leaves the apartment following an argument. The mood soured and the family tension adds a layer of personal conflict to the planned entertainment. The exit foreshadows further complications.

Rakesh asks Krishnanunni to call the family doctor, but he accidentally phones Rakesh's girlfriend instead. The blunder amplifies the confusion and risks exposing the ruse. The incident highlights Krishnanunni's earnest but clumsy attempts to help.

Krishnanunni offers to help by calling Rakesh's wife's former boyfriend Sarath under a false identity. Instead, he ends up giving Sarath Rakesh's landline number, making it obvious something is wrong. The deception backfires, deepening the mistrust.

Sarath informs Rakesh that his wife might have gone to a party hosted by a sex-freak. The revelation adds a dangerous thread to the night's tangled web of misunderstandings. It escalates the stakes as Rakesh tries to piece together what happened.

A colleague of Krishnanunni, an Income Tax Inspector Grade 1, knows the whereabouts of the sex-freak. Jagathy is portrayed as eccentric, cricket-loving, and perceptive, adding a quirky layer to the investigation. This detail widens the network involved in the misadventure.

Rakesh's wife tells Krishnanunni that he was called to make a fool of her and to have fun at her expense. Krishnanunni is hurt by the accusation, yet he remains committed to helping Rakesh. The moment tests his loyalty and character.

Krishnanunni calls Rakesh's wife to apologize and to convey how much he loves her. He crafts near-perfect excuses on the spot and speaks with confident sincerity. This gesture complicates the emotional dynamics further.

The wife leaves again and is later involved in a car accident after departing the apartment for the second time. The accident introduces a new, serious consequence to the series of misunderstandings. The incident shifts the focus from entertainment to real-world stakes.

Krishnanunni answers the phone when Rakesh's wife calls to talk to Brochant, despite having previously claimed he was in a phone booth. This misstep worsens the misunderstanding and heightens both comedy and tension. The night ends with more confusion than resolution.
