The film is set in Kumbalangi, a scenic village near Kochi, known for its mangroves and fishing communities. The backwaters, houseboats, and small wooden bridges are not just a backdrop — they shape the mood and metaphors of the story. The house where the brothers live is dark, messy, and emotionally suffocating, reflecting their fractured relationships. In contrast, the outside world — the river, the open sky, and the village — offers possibility and connection. The cinematography by Shyju Khalid uses natural light and long takes to make the viewer feel like a quiet observer in this fragile ecosystem.

Fahadh Faasil’s portrayal of a modern-day villain is iconic. His dialogue "Shammi hero aada, hero" has become a staple in Indian pop culture.

The film follows four brothers—Saji, Bobby, Bonny, and Franky—who share a strained "love-hate" relationship. Their bond is tested and eventually strengthened as they unite to support Bobby's romance.
