Santosh, a software engineer, lives an unhappy life without any promotion from his office due to his female colleague and constant nagging from his obnoxious wife Sandhya. Santhosh secretly attends his friend Ashok's bachelor party, where he meets his trouble-making childhood friend Madhav alias "Maddy" and his PT teacher Ashwath Narayan. The party begins and all of them ends up drunk.

The next morning, Santhosh, Maddy and Ashwath soon finds himself in Bangkok and Santhosh soon learns that he is the one who took Maddy and Ashwath to Bangkok in a drunken state. The trio roam around Bangkok and have a happy trip, but Santhosh is in for a shock as he learns that Sandhya is having an affair with another person and she has arrived in Bangkok for a trip. The trio sets out to embark on a journey to find Sandhya.

However, they are unknownigly captured by Prakash Anna as he assumed the trio are Indian police officers because of Maddy (Maddy introduced himself, Santhosh and Ashwath as police officers to find Sandhya at the hotel), but Prakash lets them go and secretly sends stickers, which actually contains "Blue Sky", a costly drug in Bangkok, to deliver it to his brother-in-law Mahabala. A misadventure ensues for the trio and Maddy meets and falls for Achara, a single mother, and also meets her son Navin.

The trio gives the bag to Mahabala's assistant and leaves. However, Mahabala finds jackfruits instead of stickers missing as Maddy gave the stickers to Navin in order to make him happy. Mahabala captures Prakash and the trio, when they try to meet Sandhya at her friend's wedding, and demands to find Navin and retrieve the stickers.

Various comedic events ensues in which Mahabala begins a shootout to finish his rival Marchello in the wedding. Maddy earns Achara's trust by saving Navin from the shootout. Mahabala finishes Marchello with unexpected help from Ashwath. Santhosh scolds Sandhya and breaks up with her. In the aftermath, Maddy marries Achara, Santhosh falls in love with Asha (who is revealed to be Santhosh's childhood crush) and Ashwath talks to his son after a long time.
