Plot
Subhash Chandra Bose, aka Kochu Kurup (Vineeth) hears a phone call from a teenage girl named Padmaja "Pappi" Warrier (Kavya Madhavan) and soon falls in love with her. But his parents send him to Bangalore to meet his best friend Kartik, aka Aniyankutty (Dileep), who is a rich womanizer. Aniyankutty also falls in love with Pappi, but he does not disclose this to Kochu Kurup. Kochu Kurup's father brings a marriage alliance to him, but he says that he is not interested, not knowing that the alliance is with Pappi herself. However, Kartik gets to know this, and he helps Kochu Kurup to cancel the wedding since he has an eye on her.
Kochu Kurup and Pappi try to elope before the marriage, unaware that the marriage scheduled for them was with each other. Aniyankutty stops Kurup on the way with the help of thugs so that instead of Kurup he can reach the railway station and take Pappi with him. But the family intervenes, and Aniyankutty's plot is revealed. Kurup and Pappi unite.
