Plot

Set in Kadamakkudy, the film revolves around Lallu (Dulquer Salmaan), a privileged daily wage painter and his colorful gang of friends. Although he comes from an aristocratic family and is the son of Kombanaayil John (Renji Panicker), a respected criminal lawyer in the area, he prefers the company of his under-privileged friends Panchikuttan (Salim Kumar), Vicky Peedika (Soubin Shahir), and Teny Sebastian (Vishnu Unnikrishnan). Lallu, although uneducated, has a lot of charm. Though he is adamant that he will marry for love, and is looking to find a 'spark' in a girl, and hence has not found any girl to settle down with though Jesna (Samyuktha Menon) is attracted to him and wishes that he marries her. However, his younger brother, a well-to-do computer engineer, wants to marry his girlfriend, whose parents insist that Lallu be married first. After trying and failing to find a girl that has the 'spark' he is looking for, Lallu sees a picture of a young woman, Diya (Nikhila Vimal), in the newspaper, who has gone missing, and suddenly feels the 'spark'. He and his friends try to find Diya, learning about her kind nature in the process, yet cannot find her.

Lallu pieces together clues he gets from the accident Diya was involved in, and in the meantime comes to know that she is dead. He figures out that she was deliberately murdered by Davis (Bibin George), an intoxicated youth who has psychological problems from his childhood that he takes out on anyone who mentions his mother. After getting his revenge, Lallu, with the help of his father, makes them stand before the legal system, ensuring Diya gets justice in the end. The film ends by showing that although Lallu believes he has never met Diya, he actually has on several occasions. When a small girl asks his full name, Lallu reveals that his name is Mohanlal John Kombanaayil.
