Salalah Mobiles

Afzal's mother, Safiyumma, is worried about him. Once, when his uncle comes from Salalah, Oman, he tells him he can be hired there. Afzal rejects it saying 'working is slavery'. He says that he wants to set up a mobile shop and needs funds for it. His uncle accepts it with the condition that the shop should be named 'Salalah Mobiles'. Afzal appoints his childhood friend, Binoy, as his assistant. Every morning at the bus stop in front of the shop comes a college-going girl. Afzal falls in love at first sight. He learns that her name is Shahana and that his childhood classmate and enemy Manaf has a crush on her. A few days later, he goes to Coimbatore for some stock. He meets Azhagarsamy, a genius who has made many unbelievable applications. Afzal plans to purchase some of his apps. In the bar, as they talk, Afzal calls Azhagarsamy a 'genius'. Azhagarsamy becomes excited and gifts Afzal his mobile tapping app. Afzal returns to his place, a virus spreads through messages and he suddenly hears every caller. Slowly, Manaf realizes this and, being jealous of Afzal, reveals Afzal's situation to the police.
