Though open-minded when it comes to love and sex, their regressive surroundings stand in the way. Bobby falls in love with a Hindu girl Babymol (Anna Ben in an impressive debut) who happens to be the younger sister of Shammi’s wife. Its characters - minus Shammi - have a liberal outlook. Though the film is set in a small fishing village called Kumbalangi, its ideas are contemporary and universal. They’re not making any progress they’re first-class slackers. In their small box-like home, they have their own invisible boxes in which they have cocooned themselves. They sometimes accuse each other of showing off, and occasionally get into violent scuffles. And on the other side, we have Shaji and his three brothers who have their own skewed view of masculinity. But he is also extremely narrow-minded and, well, a complete psycho. On one side, there is the antagonistic Shammi, who is blessed with good looks and a wife. Each male character sees himself as the hero of his own story.
