Guruvayoor Ambalanadayil
Vinu Ramachandran is a young executive working in Dubai. He is engaged to Anjali and forms a close acquaintance with her brother, Anandan, who works as a plant manager at a factory in Jamshedpur. It has been five years since Vinu's breakup with his ex-girlfriend, Parvathy but he still hasn't been able to move on. Anandan coaches Vinu in overcoming his feelings of betrayal. However, Anandan is also not leading a perfectly happy life, as he is temporarily separated from his wife who is also named Parvathy, after an anonymous letter slandering her had arrived to Anandan. Vinu, who now considers Anandan as the brother he never had, takes it upon himself to ensure happiness in Anandan's life and helps him reunite with Parvathy. However, things go haywire when Vinu and Anandan meet in-person for the first time as it turns out that the Parvathy in both of their lives is the same person. Initially, Vinu tries to stop the wedding due to the awkward situation with the help of his friends, his brother and his colleague Kunjunni.
