Dinesh, Nivin Pauly, a wealthy bachelor who is overconfident of himself, tries to impress Shobha with the help of his best friend Sagar Aju Varghese and hopes to marry her someday. The movie unfolds through a series of flashbacks, starting with Dinesh recalling his first meeting with Shobha and recounting their evolving relationship. He comes from an extremely rich background and, true to his nature, doesn’t work much; he spends his time partying and drinking with his friends while dealing with the news that his cousin Swathi Durga Krishna is getting married.
Dinesh and Swathi had supposedly been involved, but Swathi learns from a Google search that they are blood relatives, which casts doubt on their romance and threatens the wedding. Dinesh is furious and determined to derail the wedding at any cost. Shobha, one of Swathi’s friends, seems to like Dinesh and finds his antics amusing, even when he injures the bridegroom by accident during a drunken stunt. Later, Dinesh accompanies Shobha’s friends to the hospital for an overnight stay, where she counsels him to move on and tells him that another girl will surely fall for him.
Shobha is hardworking and runs her own business, which contrasts with Dinesh’s carefree lifestyle. To win her back, he focuses on her friends first, and gradually wins their trust. Shobha agrees to a relationship with the condition that he quit smoking and drinking. He promises, but slips up again the same night, leading to a confrontation with Shobha and Priya. Afterward, Dinesh tries to prove his commitment by taking part in a religious vow at Sabarimala for 41 days, and the couple reconciles. Yet his possessiveness grows as Shobha remains busy with work and avoids discussing settling down, cohabitation, and marriage.
A hint from a random man suggests that Shobha dates around, which enrages Dinesh. He declares the chain and bracelet (the religious vow) inappropriate for him and indulges in vodka and cigarettes; Sagar calls Shobha and Priya, and she lashes out, hitting Dinesh, who walks away in anger. Days later, Shobha calls and proposes marriage, and he agrees, despite lingering tensions. Shobha’s father [Sreenivasan] remains wary after discovering Dinesh’s drinking, but doesn’t outright reject the match because Shobha believes he will take care of her. Two days before the wedding, a stranger shows a few photographs of Dinesh with Shobha, accusing Shobha of cheating and implying Dinesh is a better match due to wealth. This is where the flashbacks end, as Dinesh wonders what to do next.
Dinesh later learns from a selfie posted drunkenly by the same stranger that he and a group of men—including Priya’s ex-husband—conspired to ruin Dinesh and Shobha’s relationship. Priya’s ex-husband had been unhappy about Priya’s closeness to Shobha, which had strained his own marriage. Shobha and Priya are taken to the police station after Dinesh beats the three men, and Dinesh begs for forgiveness, declaring his love and admitting his earlier mistakes. Shobha remains wary about trust, but ultimately reiterates the need for faith in the relationship and the absence of drinking and smoking, which Dinesh promises to maintain. She even asks his father to intervene, and Shobha's father pushes for reconciliation, while Dinesh seeks forgiveness from his own family, including his mother Mallika Sukumaran.
Cut to Present: Dinesh takes an alcoholic drink and smokes a cigarette with Sagar before entering the marriage hall to marry Shobha. The story winds through these memories and revelations, painting a portrait of a couple whose love is tested by vanity, insecurity, manipulation, and the blurred lines between wealth and commitment.
