Jan.E.Man

Joymon is a nurse working in a cold and desolate part of Canada. He grapples with persistent loneliness and finds comfort in calls to his family and childhood friends in Kerala. He decides to celebrate his 30th birthday with a big party in Kerala and invites all of his old school friends. Faizal, one of his friends who is now a skin doctor, helps him organize it. Faizal asks another friend, Sambath, a car dealer, to host the party at his house. Initially reluctant, Sambath later agrees assuming that the birthday party will be a small affair. They pick Joymon from the airport and head to Sambath's house where Sambath's mother, sister and grandmother also live. Soon other friends like Ratheesh, a Malayalam TV serial actor, Sajith (Saji), a gangster along with his sidekick Kannan and Sambath's childhood sweetheart Ammu join the party. Contrary to Sambath's assumption, Joymon has planned a grand party including fireworks, lighting decorations, liquor, DJ and so on. He has even hired Akshay who is an event coordinator. While the party starts to get going, an older man named Ittichan, who lives in the house opposite to Sambath's has a heart attack and passes away. This leads to the unusual situation where there is a birthday party celebration in one house and a funeral being planned in the other house. Moreover, Ittichan's younger daughter Jesna is heavily pregnant with her due date in a week.
