Plot
[edit]Three cousins—Arjun "Aju", Krishnan "Kuttan" P.P., and Divya "Kunju" Prakash—have shared an inseparable bond since childhood. As adults, they find themselves relocated to Bangalore under different circumstances. Aju, whose parents are divorced, is a free-spirited bike mechanic who lives life on his own terms. Kuttan is a traditional software engineer who deeply misses his rural home in Kerala. Kunju, who aspires to pursue an MBA from IIM, is instead pressured by her family into an arranged marriage with Shivadas "Das", a workaholic corporate executive, following the advice of an astrologer. After the wedding, Kunju moves to Bangalore to live with Das, while Kuttan settles there for his IT career, and Aju joins a local biker gang as their mechanic.
In Bangalore, Kunju grows increasingly isolated due to Das's emotional detachment and neglect. Her primary solace comes from spending time with her cousins. Meanwhile, the naive Kuttan, who dreams of marrying a traditional, saree-clad woman, falls in love with Meenakshi, an air hostess he meets on a flight. To impress her, Kuttan alters his personality and style, transforming into a trendy individual. However, the relationship abruptly ends when Meenakshi's ex-boyfriend arrives at her apartment, making Kuttan realize that she was merely using him to incite jealousy and reconcile with her former partner.
Concurrently, Kunju and Das’s marriage continues to deteriorate. Following a heated argument, Kunju explores a locked room in their apartment that Das has strictly prohibited anyone from entering. Inside, she discovers a room filled with photos and personal belongings of an unfamiliar woman. Devastated by the realization that she holds no place in Das's heart, Kunju leaves him and returns to Kerala alongside Kuttan. Upon their arrival, they face further family turmoil; Kuttan's father has abandoned his wealthy household to embark on a permanent spiritual pilgrimage, transferring all asset rights to Kuttan and his sister. At his mother's insistence, Kuttan eventually relocates her to Bangalore.
During this period, Aju, a former competitive bike racer serving a one-year ban due to a track violation, falls in love with the voice of Sarah, a local radio jockey. Upon meeting her, he discovers that she is a paraplegic who uses a wheelchair. Drawn to her resilient attitude, Aju forms a deep friendship with her, though he becomes disheartened upon learning that she has secured a university scholarship to study in Australia.
While Kunju and Das initiate divorce proceedings, Aju uncovers Das’s hidden past. He learns that Das was once a renowned bike racer known as "Shiva," who led a prominent motorcycle gang. Shiva had abruptly abandoned racing after a tragic accident that claimed the life of his true love, Natasha Francis. Moved by this revelation, Kunju decides to return to Bangalore to give her marriage another chance while pursuing her MBA. Through patience and understanding, she helps a repentant Das process his grief and arranges a meeting between him and Natasha's parents. This encounter allows Das to finally let go of his past, leading to a genuine reconciliation with Kunju.
Kuttan’s mother quickly adapts to urban life through her neighbors and, after three months, decides to visit her daughter in Oklahoma. At the airport, Kuttan and his mother run into Meenakshi, who is assigned to the same flight. Meenakshi approaches Kuttan, revealing that her previous relationship has ended permanently and that she is waiting for his call. Moving past his old heartbreak, Kuttan politely but firmly rejects her, choosing to move forward with his life.
Aju secures a chance to compete in a critical race on the same day Sarah is scheduled to depart for Australia. With Kunju, Kuttan, and Das cheering from the stands, Aju wins the championship. Realizing Sarah's profound impact on his life, Aju rushes to intercept her before her departure and asks her to stay. Sarah chooses to forgo her scholarship to remain with Aju in Bangalore. Sometime later, Kuttan marries Michelle, a European neighbor and Bharatanatyam dancer who has deeply embraced Indian culture. The film concludes with the three cousins and their partners joyfully gathering in Kuttan's room to take a group photograph.

Bangalore Days set a benchmark and ushered a new era for Malayalam cinema."[54] Jisha Ponnachan of Film Companion noted: "Bangalore Days is a timeless experience, that will make you laugh and cry heartily. The film is a gentle push for us to embrace our present, rejoice in our familial bonds and to dream without limits."[55]
