Plot[edit]
The film is about the life of four unemployed youths from Kozhikode, named Varun, Prakashan, Ajaz and Jamsheer, who have a lot of expectations in their life and are looking for an opportunity to be successful. All their ventures lead to failures. They start different businesses, including a taxi company by pledging their homes. They amass huge debt and later use a painting that Varun's father has looked after as a prized possession on the pretext that it will fetch them a lot of money. That effort also turns in vain and they have ventured into new opportunities. Later, Ajaz tries to triplicate the money his father gave him to go to Dubai to work with a racket and gets cheated. The story ends saying that the four youngsters are still struggling with their lives to get settled.[1] Varun’s father Das has a famous painting in his cafe. The gang steals this painting and sells it for five lakhs. Das tells them that the painting is worth a crore and tricks them into buying back the painting from Padma, an art buyer for galleries, and keeps it back in the cafe. Das scolds them and the friends split up after a huge fight. The friends are now enemies and Varun and artist Prakashan get calls asking for a Bos painting, which is Prakashans signature. Varun calls Padma offering to sell a Bos painting and goes to Kochi to meet her. The painting is of their friendship and shows all their friends against an ocean backdrop. Padma offers them a space to exhibit the painting at her exhibition. They attach a price tag of ten lakh rupees, believing it will solve all their debt. The other friends also arrive in Kochi. The exhibition starts but the painting fails to sell. Padma takes it off their hands. She reveals that she knew Prakash was Bos all along and that he is a talented painter. She pays them a handsome amount of ten lakhs. They repay their friends all the debts. All of them meet up and reunite.
