'Diamond Necklace' is all about Dr Arjun, (Fahd Fazil) an young oncologist from a small town in Kerala, adjusting to the lifestyle in Dubai metropolis. The movie narrates his life hitting the ebb due to his spendthrift, easy going manners and then his attempts to crawl back again. A successful doctor, he is currently sharing a flat at the world's biggest and expensive building in Dubai, Burg Khalifa. Addicted to getting into relations and chasing anything with the money he has on his more than a dozen credit cards, Arun finally falls for Lekshmy (Gowthamy Nair), the new nurse who joins his hospital from a local village in Tamil Nadu. He starts a live-in relation with her, but soon falls into the traps laid by his over spending attitudes,  nose-diving  himself into a travel  ban. One top official named Narayanan (Manian Pillai Raju) helps him to get out of the crisis for the time being, helping him to visit his ailing mother at Kerala. But once he is into his home land, Arun realizes that all is set for him to enter another relation, as his mother and the relatives are already up for his marriage with Rajshri (Anushree), a girl who is also a classical dancer trained at Kalamandalam. It is at this point that another modern girl; Maya, a fashion designer by profession enters his life. The movie goes on to tell how the life of Arun intertwines with that of all these three girls and how a costly diamond necklace' makes him realize about the finer aspects of his life.

Iqbal Kuttipuram has penned a nexcellent story taking the essence of  the typical structure of Laljose movies and the new generation styles to make one that works at many levels. And Laljose is back to another best, handling a complex story with amazing maturity, as expected of him. A strong melodramatic theme about Middle East life with some terrific moments that stay with you, the story is attention-grabbing.  The writing and dialogues are relatable (also you find some terrific Tamil lines) and credible with that atypical, feel-good conclusion, making it one that is not to be missed.  But 'Diamond Necklace' slips a bit in its post-interval portions. The promise that it showed initially dries up in this hour, as some sequences are a bit bland, melodramatic and dragging. The screenplay could've been more engrossing in this hour, where relationships appear too subtle or unadorned camaraderie or as just feelings for each other.
