Diamond Necklace is a 2012 Malayalam romance film directed by Lal Jose, starring Fahadh Faasil, Anusree, Samvrutha Sunil, and Gauthami Nair in the lead roles. Gauthami Nair and Fahadh Faasil won Filmfare awards for their roles. Composer Vidyasagar won a Filmfare award too.

Arun Kumar (Fahadh Faasil) is a young Oncologist working in Dubai. He lives off of plastic money (carrying around a wallet full of credit cards), drives swanky cars and enjoys life to the hilt without worrying about the future. The risk of such a lifestyle comes into focus when we see his car being towed by the creditors. Next we get to see that his upmarket lifestyle is like a house of cards.

The focus is on his relationship with the people around him. There is Savithri Akka (Rohini), his boss in the hospital who, in a sense, spoils him with sisterly affection. Lakshmi(Gauthami Nair), a newly recruited Tamil nurse in his department may be the first girl Arun is seriously smitten by. Lakshmi came to Dubai to fulfill her mother's dream of building a hospital in their village, as her father died due to lack of proper treatment.

Maya (Samvrutha Sunil) is a relative of Savithri, a fashion designer who was based in the UK and Paris and now in Dubai. She wants to start her own boutique in Dubai. Maya is engaged to Mr. Deepak, who is in France. Maya is diagnosed with cancer and treated by Savithri. Maya's fiancee Deepak leaves her due to her illness, leaving Maya depressed. While moving Maya's belongings to the ward, Arun notices a diamond necklace.

One day, Arun comes to know through Venu (Sreenivasan), a laborer who is from his town in Kerala, that his mother is not well. But, Arun cannot leave the country due to his creditors. He gets to meet Mr. Narayanan (Manian Pillai Raju), who also happens to be from his place. Through Narayanan's influence, Arun is granted permission to leave the country. When he arrives in India, he is tricked into marriage to Narayanan's niece, Rajasree (Anusree). Rajasree is a typical "village" girl who has no clue about city life.
