Bachelor

A reckless and narcissistic 24-year-old man, nicknamed Darling, relocates from his rural home on the outskirts of Coimbatore to Bengaluru in search of employment. He moves into a shabby dormitory shared by his brother's friends, namely Bhagya a.k.a. "Bucks", Arun, Prem, Shyam, and a few others. His constant amateurism and incompetence in everyday activities create considerable exasperation among his roommates. Nevertheless, they help him secure a job at the IT firm where they work. One evening, while running an errand, Darling's carelessness results in his friend Nimmi getting injured. While recuperating, Nimmi is visited by his girlfriend Rumi, whose existence had been kept secret from the former. As an apology, Nimmi invites Darling to their flat, where he is introduced to Subbulakshmi a.k.a. "Subbu", the couple's roommate. Instantly attracted to her, he attempts to befriend her. When Nimmi and Rumi decide to emigrate to Boston, Darling convinces them to let him stay with Subbu, albeit under certain conditions. Initially, Subbu is annoyed by Darling's presence and repeatedly rejects his advances, but she gradually warms to him. Later, when she falls ill, Darling cares for her, and his actions impress her, eventually leading to a romantic relationship. Over the next six months, the two grow closer; however, Darling's arrogance often creates conflict between them.
