Umesh Manohar is a 21-year-old carefree engineering student who has 42 backlog subjects to clear. His close pals are Shaji and Thankaprasad. Wanting to find a quick way to earn money and fame, he decides to try his hand at movies, and wants to assist none other than the renowned South-Indian director Gautham Vasudev Menon. Shaji suggests that Umesh make a short film and upload it on the internet, but the result is utter failure, after losing the camera in an accident. Umesh's father orders him to help him to run his small shop. To avoid such a bleak future, Umesh catches the next train to Chennai from his home town of Thalassery, Kannur. On the train, he sees Daisy, his neighbour back home. Umesh tries to woo Daisy throughout the journey but miserably fails. He lies to his friends that they are having an affair, tricks her into posing for a selfie with him, and sends it to Shaji.
After spending six days in Chennai, realizing that he is not cut out for the struggle to enter the film industry, he returns to his town in Thalassery, where he finds a slew of people waiting for his return. He learns that his hometown is hot with news of his elopement with Daisy. The selfie clicked by him had created a big problem among his family and neighbours. He finds out that Shaji had been the one who told them. He returns to Chennai immediately with Shaji to find her and prove his innocence, where they meet a private detective named Jack Tracker, with whom he had fought earlier with when chasing Daisy.
