Storyline:
A spirited young girl would stop at nothing to get the first love of her life, even if it takes seven years and several heartbreaks.Summary:
The film begins as Dr. Matthew Devasya (Renji Panicker) anxiously paces the hall outside of a delivery room. He learns that his wife has delivered a baby boy and thanks God for the good news. A stranger comments that Mathew was lucky it's not a daughter, as he would have had to worry about her all his life. As the stranger says this, a nurse comes out of the delivery room carrying the baby, apologizing that she made a mistake, and confirming that the baby is actually a girl. Mathew glares at the stranger and praises God once again.
The story resumes in 1999 where the baby girl, Pooja Mathew (Nazriya Nazim), has grown up to become a tomboy and is now in grade 12 and is seventeen years old. She introduces the audience to her parents. Her father is a doctor by profession and enjoys recording and listening to his own renditions of songs. Her mother, a college lecturer by profession, is sweet and down-to-earth woman who loves cooking and appreciating her own culinary skills. Pooja also has two friends: Neetu (Akshaya Premnath), a flirt, and Donna (Oshein Mertil), a foodie.
Pooja recounts her childhood memories of being a tomboy, riding a motorbike and of her friendship with Rachel Aunty (Vinaya Prasad) who makes and sells wine as her job. Pooja is her official wine taster. During one of their sessions, she tells Pooja that she can either choose to marry a man she loves or learn to love a stranger that she is forced to marry. Pooja then decides that she must find someone herself.
She settles on Yardley (Harikrishnan), a popular boy in her school. During a trip from her school, Yardley approaches Pooja with a proposal. Pooja ponders whether or not to accept. The next day, she and her friends are teased by a gang of men. Pooja gets angry and confronts them. As she does, one of the gang twists her arm. Just then, Giri (Nivin Pauly), a random stranger comes out through one of the rides and saves her. Pooja instantly falls for Giri and immediately leaves Yardley saying she does not have romantic feelings for him.
Over the course of the rest of the film, Pooja constantly tries to attract the attention of Giri, who is a part-time farmer but also teaches in the Kung Fu Academy. At one point, she learns from her cousin David Kaanjani (Aju Varghese) that another one of her cousins (and Kaanjani's sister), Julie (Poojitha Menon), used to be Giri's girlfriend. She is told that Julie was married off to another man from America resulting in enmity between Giri and David. She also learns from Rachel that Giri had been thought of as a suitor to her daughter Helen as well. The year is 2000. On Giri's birthday, which also happens to be a Palm Sunday, Pooja decides that she will propose to him by bringing him a locket. It starts raining and they take shelter in a temple. Pooja declares her love but Giri tells her that she is just a kid, and that she needs to concentrate on her studies because she is destined to become successful. Pooja drops the locket and she leaves the temple into the rain crying.
