Joymon is a nurse working in a cold and desolate part of Canada. He grapples with persistent loneliness and finds comfort in calls to his family and childhood friends in Kerala. He decides to celebrate his 30th birthday with a big party in Kerala and invites all of his old school friends. Faizal, one of his friends who is now a skin doctor, helps him organize it. Faizal asks another friend, Sambath, a car dealer, to host the party at his house. Initially reluctant, Sambath later agrees assuming that the birthday party will be a small affair. They pick Joymon from the airport and head to Sambath's house where Sambath's mother, sister and grandmother also live. Soon other friends like Ratheesh, a Malayalam TV serial actor, Sajith (Saji), a gangster along with his sidekick Kannan and Sambath's childhood sweetheart Ammu join the party. Contrary to Sambath's assumption, Joymon has planned a grand party including fireworks, lighting decorations, liquor, DJ and so on. He has even hired Akshay who is an event coordinator.
While the party starts to get going, an older man named Ittichan, who lives in the house opposite to Sambath's has a heart attack and passes away. This leads to the unusual situation where there is a birthday party celebration in one house and a funeral being planned in the other house. Moreover, Ittichan's younger daughter Jesna is heavily pregnant with her due date in a week. Sambath is unsympathetic, since he has had conflicts in the past with Monichan, Ittichan's estranged son. Soon, Ittichan's younger brother Kochukunju as well as Monichan and his friends arrive at Ittichan's house to plan the funeral. The sombre event at one house clashes with the loud and brightly lit party at the other house. Akshay decides to help with the funeral as well and becomes the event coordinator for both the events and runs back and forth between the two.
Just as Ittichan's older daughter Saramma, a nun, somehow convinces Monichan to give his father the last kiss at midnight, Joymon sets off fireworks celebrating his birthday which causes anger in the grieving house. Sambath and Faizal feel this went out of hand; they fight with Joymon and apologise to Kochukunju for the disturbance. Kochukunju recognises Ratheesh as a big actor in one of the serials he watches; soon the guests from both events start to commingle with each other and start to understand each other. Faizal treats Jesna; Joymon and Monichan start to bond on no one understanding them. When Ittichan's will is read, they are surprised to hear that some property has been left to Sambath's grandmother. They rush to clarify things and find her dead in her bed.
They discover an old photograph of Ittichan and faded letters in the grandmother's possession and discover that the two were star-crossed lovers in the early 1970s. Due to their different faiths, they were not able to marry each other but nevertheless continued to love each other from afar. Ittichan fondly called her Jan-E-Man (Darling in Urdu). Monichan and Sambath get into a fight along with their friends after Monichan's friend Chacko hits Sambath and in retaliation Sajith accidentally hits Kochukunju. During this, Ittichan's younger daughter Jesna goes into labour and Faizal as well as the women in both the houses work together to deliver the baby. She finally gives birth to a healthy baby girl and everyone is overjoyed when Monichan names her Jan-E-Man and Joymon wishing her happy birthday. The movie ends showing Ittichan and Sambath's grandmother being buried in adjacent graves surrounded by their family and friends.
