Kumbalangi Nights

In the village of Kumbalangi, four brothers — Saji, Bonny, Bobby, and Franky — share a small, dilapidated house. Saji’s father had married Bonny’s mother, who then gave birth to Bobby and Franky. When their father passes away, their mother abandons them to join a religious mission, leaving Saji to be the man of the house. Saji has anger management issues, and often gets into fights with Bobby, an unemployed youngster. Franky is ashamed of Saji and Bobby but gets along well with Bonny, who is mute.

Bobby starts dating Babymol, a girl who lives nearby. He eventually proposes to her, but she asks him to talk to her family first. Bobby asks Saji to accompany him, and together they go to meet Shammi, Baby’s brother-in-law. Shammi rejects the proposal and ridicules the poor reputation that Bobby’s family has among the villagers. Saji tries to console Bobby and asks him to get a job, which he does. Meanwhile, Bonny starts dating Nylah, an American tourist who lives at the homestay run by Baby and her family.

One day, a fight breaks out between Saji and Franky. Bonny, who is very protective of Franky, hits Saji. Saji leaves the house and takes to drinking with his friend Vijay. In his drunken stupor, Saji tries to commit suicide. Vijay loses his own life in attempting to save Saji’s life.

As a result of his remorse, Saji goes to Vijay’s house to apologise to Vijay’s wife Sathi, only to find her in labour. He takes her to the hospital, where she gives birth to a baby girl. Saji takes Sathi and her daughter to his house to care for them. Meanwhile, Bonny has brought home Nylah, who has been removed from her homestay, by Shammi, for inviting Bonny there. Franky is pleased to have the two women in the house, as it gives them some semblance of being a regular family. Bobby even tries to enliven their love lives with suggestions like asking Bonny to take Nylah out to see sea sparkles at night.

Sometime later, Saji approaches Shammi again and asks him to reconsider the proposal, which Shammi refuses. Babymol makes up her mind to elope with Bobby. However, Shammi finds out about Baby’s plans, and turns abusive and violent. He assaults Babymol, her sister and their Baby’s mother, holding them captive in their own home. When Babymol fails to return his calls, Bobby’s brothers volunteer to help, and the four arrive at Baby’s house. Together, they manage to trap Shammi with a fishing net and set the women free. Bobby and Babymol are finally reunited and get married.
