Plot
The story revolves around two spoiled youngsters, Jones Isaac (Dulquer Salmaan) and his cousin Korah (Jacob Gregory). Jones is the son of a millionaire named Isaac (Lalu Alex) who is settled in New York, while Korah's mother left for Paris with her new husband. Jones and Korah enjoy their luxurious life by driving expensive cars, going to pubs, etc. Isaac decides to send them to India, telling them it is a vacation, but then blocks their credit cards, forcing them to live in poverty in Kerala, where they eventually become famous. Jones and Korah are given very poor accommodations where toilet water is scanty. They try to make money through underhand methods but are duped. Now their only way to go back to America is by participating in Mr Fame and winning the prize money (100,000 rupees). So they participate in a protest which ends up in police lathi charge. This gives popularity to Jones and Korah, but draws the attention of Akilash, an election candidate who tries to trap them by tearing their visas. Jones hits Akilash, giving him a scrotal injury, near election time. This makes the minister handle the situation without much problem-creating by no arrest recording but a fast transport of Jones and Korah to America telling about them as American citizens. Apart from easy visa, Mr Fame award is also announced which goes to Jones. Now in America, Jones is back starting a new life, but, the movie ends by showing a black person coming out of a car and shouting at the gate of residence where Jones lives for revenge.
