He tells that he want to set a mobile shop and needs fund for it. His uncle accepts it with one condition: that the shop should be named 'Salalah Mobiles'. Afzal appoints his childhood friend Binoy as his assistant. There was a bus stop in front of the shop and every morning a college going girl comes there. Afzal falls in love at first sight. He learns that her name is Shahana and his childhood classmate and enemy Manaf has a crush on her. After some days he goes to Coimbatore to get some stock. There he meets Azhagarsamy, a genius who has made many unbelievable applications. Afzal plans to purchase some of his apps. In the bar, when they were just talking Afzal calls Azhagarsamy a 'genius'. Azhagarsamy, who is so excited, gifts Afzal his mobile tapping app. Afzal returns to his place and there a virus spreads through messages and Afzal starts hearing every caller. Slowly, Manaf realizes this and, being jealous of Afzal, reveals to the police about Afzal's nature.
