	In the [[Bible]], the story of [[David and Goliath]] is about how the meek and innocent [[David]] kills the Philistine giant [[Goliath]] through a slingshot in the battle of [[Philistine]] and [[Israel]]. The film is a modern interpretation of the story, which deals with the concept of the strong and weak, and has Jayasurya playing David while Anoop Menon appears as Sunny. The film's story revolves around a church and the few characters who are closely associated with it. The biblical characters are given modern day interpretations and show how in every David there resides a strong and courageous Goliath who can win even a difficult battle.<ref>{{cite news \|url=http://www.metromatinee.com/News/JayasuryaAnoop%20Menon%20team's%20David%20and%20Goliath-4433-1 \|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130128172141/http://www.metromatinee.com/News/JayasuryaAnoop%20Menon%20team's%20David%20and%20Goliath-4433-1 \|url-status=dead \|archive-date=2013-01-28 \|title=Jayasurya-Anoop Menon team's "David and Goliath" \|publisher=Metromatinee.com \|date=2012-09-23 \|accessdate=2012-10-13 }}</ref><ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20131208215933/http://ibnlive.in.com/news/david-and-goliath-preview-it-is-expected-to-be-a-hit/300929-71-211.html David and Goliath Preview - It is expected to be a hit].
