The film emerged as a major commercial success grossing ₹73 crore. The film had a theatrical run of 175 days in Kerala and over 300 days in Tamil Nadu. The film was included in The Hindu's top 25 Malayalam movies of the decade. Pallavi and Nivin's performances were included by the Film Companion in its list of “100 Greatest Performances of the Decade”.

In 2000, George David, a 16-year-old pre-degree student, studies at Holy Spirit Convent College in Aluva, Kerala. He is infatuated with Mary, the prettiest school girl in the small village Uliyannoor-Thottakkattukara. George along with his friends, Shambu and Koya, often follows Mary around in an attempt to talk to her but he is afraid of her father, who beats up boys pestering his daughter. Mary is famous for her beauty and has other suitors too.
Every time George gathers the courage to talk to Mary, something or the other comes up, and he ends up disappointed. George is heartbroken when he learns that Mary is in a relationship with another boy, also named George. She also asks for his help to date safely without her family knowing. He helps her with a painful heart. The seriousness of life finally sinks in when George, Shambu, and Koya introspect about their academic future after a dismal performance in their year-end examination.
In 2005, George, Shambu and Koya get admission to Union Christian College, Aluva. One day, while on a ragging streak, George and his friends meet Malar, a new lecturer in their college who happens to have a Tamil background. George instantly falls for her and seemingly gets her to feel the same about him. He is also impressed by her dancing talents as she performs an outstanding routine with his team. Convinced about their love for each other, he extends their relationship and contemplates marriage. Simultaneously, George's college teacher, Vimal Sir, also falls for Malar and tries to woo her with the help of his friend, a PT teacher, Shivan.
Later that year, Malar goes to visit her family in Kodaikanal with her cousin, Arivazhagan, who by tradition is supposed to be her would be. Weeks later, it's announced in the college that Malar met with an accident and consequently left her job as the lecturer. George and his friends immediately ride to Kodaikanal to see Malar. It turns out Malar lost part of her memory due to the injuries suffered in the accident. She fails to recognize George and is not able to recall her relationship with him. As a result, Malar marries Arivazhagan and a heartbroken George attends her wedding reception with his friends.
