Aby Mathew | Aby Mathew is an ad filmmaker who is about to marry his model, Ann. Aby throws a bachelor party for his bunch of friends, including Abid, Franco, Daisy, and a few others just seven days before the wedding. Through Abid, Aby learns of his ex-flame Sini's presence in the city with whom he had a fall-out just a few days before their wedding. An inebriated Aby decides to go to Sini to invite her to his wedding. Sini talks highly of her husband Alex, a boxer, with whom she has a son as well. Aby also boasts of his fiancée. During this meeting, Aby accidentally leaves his packet of cigarettes behind, which is then taken by Sini's son to school. On discovering the cigarette packet in school, the principal calls Sini and her husband for disciplinary action against their son. Sini, however, realizes that she cannot go to school with Alex since that would mean telling him about Aby's visit which she had kept as a secret. Sini pleads to Aby to accompany her to school posing as her husband. Things take an ugly turn when they are seen together by a stranger. | ||
