Synopsis
Roy, Surya, Amir, and Gauri come from entirely different backgrounds. One thing they have in common is cancer. Roy is a multi-millionaire; Amir is a small-time goonda; Soorya is an MBA student; and Gouri is an MBBS student. Each of them is dying from the disease (blood, liver, bone, and lung cancer, respectively), and they all come for treatment at a plush hospital, Pratheeksha, run by Dr. Nandakumar. Though they take some time to become friends, they eventually grow close. They decide to go to Malaysia to meet Surya's girlfriend because they want a positive outlook on their lives. This forms the rest of the story.
