Plot
Pawan (Dileep), whose mother passed away 24 years ago when he was a child, lives with his widower father Krishnankutty Menon (Nedumudi Venu), a rich businessman. His father frequently and hilariously gets in trouble with the police officer Mariyamma (Kalpana), mostly due to his best friend, Narayanan (Innocent). Pavan meets Anjana (Navya Nair) who was his old college mate, who lives with her unmarried music teacher Sridevi. It turns out that Krishnankutty Menon and Sridevi (Jayasudha) were actually star-crossed lovers when they were young. Pavan, Anjana, Narayanan (Innocent) and Pavan's brother (Sreenivasan) make a plan to reunite them after all these years - and in the process, Pavan and Anjana discover their feelings for each other as well.
