	This episode of love opens up with a husband and wife preparing to leave for a party on New Year's eve. While the father is nonchalant about it, the mother is concerned about leaving their daughter Isha ([[Isha Sharvani]]) at home. She is concerned about her safety and her shenanigans. After the couple leave, the daughter ~~is shown dancing away. However, when she comes downstairs, she is~~ aware of someone inside ~~her~~ house. By then it is too late as she wakes up tied to a chair in her house. Shen then notices that the thief has on a mask and after a few attempts at trying to free herself, the thief asks her to quiet down. After Isha continues to struggle, it is revealed that she has an Asthma issue and asks the thief to get her the inhaler which is in her bag. While getting the inhaler the thief ([[Nivin Pauly]]) inadvertently removes his mask. He threatens her to be quiet after she asks to be untied. As the thief begins to search drawers, Isha lets him know in which drawers the house valuables are. After taking all the jewels in the house, the thief is set to leave when Isha proposes an idea. She tells the thief that if he were to spend New Year's eve with her at home she would show him more of the expensive stuff in the house (it is revealed here that Isha's mother is really her step-mother and she harbors resentment against her step-mother). ~~After~~ the thief releases Isha~~, she exhibits behavior that is not trustworthy to the thief, so he pulls out a gun. He puts it back when he realizes that Isha is doing what she promised to do~~. While Isha is excited about this stealing adventure, the thief is only interested in expensive things. As the night moves on, Isha gets very comfortable with the thief, even seducing him. They celebrate the New Year on the terrace with some intimate moments. At this point, it is obvious that the thief is drunk from the vine that belonged to Isha's father and Isha uses this to her advantage and ties the thief to the very chair she was tied to. The true suspense is revealed to the audience after this as she is not the actual daughter.She is also another thief who came before Nivin and tied up the actual daughter. ~~No one is who they seem to be!~~		This episode of love opens up with a husband and wife preparing to leave for a party on New Year's eve. While the father is nonchalant about it, the mother is concerned about leaving their daughter Isha ([[Isha Sharvani]]) at home. She is concerned about her safety and her shenanigans. After the couple leave, the daughter soon becomes aware of someone inside the house. By then it is too late as she wakes up tied to a chair in her house.

So the thief releases Isha. While Isha is excited about this stealing adventure, the thief is only interested in expensive things. As the night moves on, Isha gets very comfortable with the thief, even seducing him. They celebrate the New Year on the terrace with some intimate moments. At this point, it is obvious that the thief is drunk from the vine that belonged to Isha's father and Isha uses this to her advantage and ties the thief to the very chair she was tied to. The true suspense is revealed to the audience after this as she is not the actual daughter. She is also another thief who came before Nivin and tied up the actual daughter.

==Plots==

=== Sethulakshmi ===
Sethulakshmi ([[Anikha|Baby Anikha]]), a schoolgirl, has a hobby of collecting the photos of newly married couples from newspapers and pasting them in a notebook. Her close friend ([[Chethan Jayalal]]) comes to know about her interest in taking photos. They decide to go to a studio nearby for taking their photos. This decision changes their destiny. They go to the photo studio and have their picture taken only to find out that it will cost them Rs. 25. They are asked to bring the money in two days. They come up with only Rs. 6.50 and two eggs (the two eggs brought by Sethulakshmi's close friend). The studio owner tells them that he will come to their school and get the balance from their teacher. Both the children state that it is a bad idea. This sends the studio owner into a rage demanding his money. After a moment he calms down and asks Sethulakshmi to come into the film room to take a picture. While there he asks her to strip; she cries wanting to go home. Sethulakshmi has nightmares of that incident that night but does not disclose anything to her parents. She is taken to school by her father the next day as she exhibits feverish conditions. After school as Sethulakshmi and her friend walk home, they see the scooter that belongs to the studio owner. He hands the picture to Sethulaksmi's friend but pulls Sethulakshmi aside and threatens her that he would put her picture on the school wall if she did not come with him immediately. Sethulakhsmi's friend demands to know where the studio owner is taking Sethulakshmi to which the studio owner tells him to go home. Sethulaskhmi's friend is left alone as he watches the studio owner take Sethulakskmi away on his scooter.

=== Isha ===
This episode of love opens up with a husband and wife preparing to leave for a party on New Year's eve. While the father is nonchalant about it, the mother is concerned about leaving their daughter Isha ([[Isha Sharvani]]) at home. She is concerned about her safety and her shenanigans. After the couple leave, the daughter is shown dancing away. However, when she comes downstairs, she is aware of someone inside her house. By then it is too late as she wakes up tied to a chair in her house. Shen then notices that the thief has on a mask and after a few attempts at trying to free herself, the thief asks her to quiet down. After Isha continues to struggle, it is revealed that she has an Asthma issue and asks the thief to get her the inhaler which is in her bag. While getting the inhaler the thief ([[Nivin Pauly]]) inadvertently removes his mask. He threatens her to be quiet after she asks to be untied. As the thief begins to search drawers, Isha lets him know in which drawers the house valuables are. After taking all the jewels in the house, the thief is set to leave when Isha proposes an idea. She tells the thief that if he were to spend New Year's eve with her at home she would show him more of the expensive stuff in the house (it is revealed here that Isha's mother is really her step-mother and she harbors resentment against her step-mother). After the thief releases Isha, she exhibits behavior that is not trustworthy to the thief, so he pulls out a gun. He puts it back when he realizes that Isha is doing what she promised to do. While Isha is excited about this stealing adventure, the thief is only interested in expensive things. As the night moves on, Isha gets very comfortable with the thief, even seducing him. They celebrate the New Year on the terrace with some intimate moments. At this point, it is obvious that the thief is drunk from the vine that belonged to Isha's father and Isha uses this to her advantage and ties the thief to the very chair she was tied to. The true suspense is revealed to the audience after this as she is not the actual daughter.She is also another thief who came before Nivin and tied up the actual daughter. No one is who they seem to be!

=== Gauri ===
The short film tells the love story of a married couple living in a hill station. After materializing their love affair through a registered marriage, Gauri ([[Kavya Madhavan]]) and Jonathan Antony ([[Biju Menon]]) choose the place to begin their married life. Jo is crazy about trekking while Gauri is a dancer and teaches art to her students. On the eve of their wedding anniversary, a tragedy occurs which changes their life.

=== Kullante Bharya ===
A newlywed couple comes to stay in an apartment. The husband played by Jinu Ben who is only 5 feet 1 inches is shorter than his extremely tall wife played by the 6 feet tall young newcomer [[Reenu Mathews]]. The colony neighbors begin to gossip about them. As the couple lives happily, they expect their baby to add to the joy. But destiny has something else in store for them. The whole film is pictured from the point of view of a person who is bed-ridden after an accident (played by [[Dulquer Salmaan]]). It is reminiscent of the photographer in wheelchair observing his neighbors in [[Alfred Hitchcock]]'s ''[[Rear Window]]''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://timescity.com/mumbai-movie/anchu-sundarikal/3793 |title=Anchu Sundarikal Review |publisher=Timescity.com |access-date=2013-09-04}}</ref>
