==Plot==

Vijay ([[Asif Ali (actor)|Asif Ali]]) goes to Pournami's ([[Aishwarya Lekshmi|Aiswarya]]) house for a prospective first alliance meeting. He has completed his [[Bachelor of Technology|B.Tech]], which took him over 5 years, including the make up exams. He is lazy and not very interested in doing any work. His dream is to become a chef and open a restaurant, but he doesn't get any support from his father. Pournami, on the other hand, is very focused and works hard to fulfill her dreams of going to [[Australia]]. However, her father does not approve of her idea to go abroad, as she is a girl. When both Pournami and Vijay meet at the matrimonial first meeting, her younger cousin accidentally locks the door and they get locked out. To pass their time, they talk about their past. Pournami reveals that she was in love with a North Indian man named Naresh. They wanted to start a food truck business together. Naresh went to Delhi to talk with his father about their love and business plans. Meanwhile, Pournami started working on her plan eagerly and was ready to surprise Naresh by buying the truck. Naresh does not show to the meeting with her parents, overpowered by the greed of getting dowry. Pournami and her father waited for him but when they realize that Naresh wasn't coming back, her father decides to get her married to someone else.

When it was Vijay's turn to share his past, he reveals that he was unemployed and was always goofing around with his two friends. They made cooking videos together as he is passionate about cooking. But it wasn't profitable enough so, they plan to make prank videos and were caught red-handed by Vijay's father's brother, which ended their plan. He then got a job in a call-center on his father's recommendation. He started going out with a girl to show off to his friends, but she cheated on him. He found out about it only when her actual boyfriend called him at work. Vijay quit his job after having a fight with his boss.

It was then revealed that Vijay came to the wrong address for his matchmaking event. Later, Vijay goes to his actual matchmaking event, which was with a rich family. Meanwhile, Pournami tells the guy coming to her matchmaking event that she's not interested in marriage. The family of Vijay's bride wanted him to be able to run a business. Vijay and Pournami decide to operate the food truck themselves, with Vijay as the chef, and Pournami in charge of the business side of things. At first, they face many difficulties, mainly because of Vijay's and his friends' laziness as well as disagreements with Pournami. This ended when they gave up on the food truck.

Vijay's grandmother visits Pournami's house and tells her father that he should be proud to have such a responsible daughter. She wishes to have a daughter like Pournami in the future. Vijay insists that her father let her pursue her dreams. Pournami recognizes Vijay's good wishes. Pournami later convinces his father that he is an expert cook by cooking them one of Vijay's recipes. They kickstart their business with support from both their parents. After this, their food truck becomes a smashing success. In the process, they fall in love without realizing it, but both of them are engaged to other people, so they drift apart. After realizing they love each other, they come back together through a radio show organized by their friend, with the support of their family and friends.

They start their food truck business and [[K.S. Chitra]] visits them.

Afterwards it is revealed that they got married

=== Critical response ===
[[The Times of India|''Times of India'']] reviewer Deepa Soman rated it 3/5 and stated, "The film is a decent watch on the whole, with warmth in its heart. If not approached with high expectations, the boisterous characters might offer you a good time".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/malayalam/movie-reviews/vijay-superum-pournamiyum/movie-review/67485347.cms|title=Vijay Superum Pournamiyum Movie Review {3.0/5}: Critic Review of Vijay Superum Pournamiyum by Times of India|publisher=|via=timesofindia.indiatimes.com}}</ref>

''[[The Hindu]]'' said "The core story of an aimless youth finding his purpose with the help of a girl does not have much novelty in it, but Jis Joy manages to inject a few fresh elements, which makes it enjoyable in parts. It is almost like a movie version of a ‘You too can win’ self-help book, filled with just too many feel-good moments.".<ref>https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/kerala/a-breezy-outing-with-no-novelty-factor/article25982480.ece</ref>
