The film stars Prithviraj Sukumaran, Indrajith Sukumaran, and Arya in lead roles. The movie opens with two men, Pancho and Vinci, robbing a jewelry store. They succeed in stealing a priceless diamond, but their escape plan goes awry, leading to a chase by the police. During the chase, some of their loot is thrown into the car of a bumbling duo, Swathi and Antony. Pancho and Vinci decide to pursue them and get back their loot.

Meanwhile, a gangster named Vavachan is trying to find a way to get his hands on the diamond. He enlists the help of his henchman, Sunil, who has a secret crush on Swathi. Sunil agrees to help Vavachan get the diamond in exchange for Swathi. However, Vavachan's plans are disrupted when a group of foreigners arrives in Gopi. They are looking for a lost temple, where they believe a treasure is hidden.

The foreigners include a Frenchman, a German woman, and an Australian man. They enlist the help of Don Toms, a local don, and his goons to locate the temple. However, Don Toms is also interested in the diamond and tries to get his hands on it.

Amidst all this chaos, Swathi and Antony, who have no idea about the diamond, are just trying to survive. They are caught between the robbers, the gangsters, and the foreigners, each of whom is after something they possess.

The director has made use of multiple split screens, freeze frames, and other visual effects to narrate the story. The film's soundtrack, composed by Prashant Pillai, adds to the overall experience.

The performances by the lead actors are commendable. Prithviraj Sukumaran and Indrajith Sukumaran play the roles of Pancho and Vinci, respectively, with great finesse. They bring a certain charm to their characters despite the fact that they are robbers. Arya, who plays the role of Don Toms, is menacing and makes for a memorable villain.

The supporting cast, which includes Sunny Wayne, Swathi Reddy, and Isha Sharvani, also deliver noteworthy performances. Sunny Wayne, in particular, stands out with his portrayal of Antony, a naive young man who is thrust into a dangerous situation.

Overall, Double Barrel is an entertaining movie with a unique plot and interesting characters. The movie keeps the viewers engaged with its fast-paced action and humorous sequences.
